There was a raging fire in the Yangzhou military camp, and the light of the fire could be faintly seen even from several miles away.
The fire has been going on for three or four hours. It is conceivable that the entire camp will be turned into scorched earth.
"Congratulations, lord, for your ingenious calculation and great defeat of the Yangzhou Army and Zhao Zilong!" Jiang Ji said with cupped hands and a bright smile.
Zhao Yun is known as the victorious general and is a small replica of Liu Ke.
Liu Ke has never suffered a defeat since he raised his army, and the same goes for Zhao Yun.
Among them, Zhao Yun's most famous battles were the surprise attack on Xiwu and the defense of the South China Sea against Sun Ce, etc., and he gradually became the number one general in Yangzhou.
In Cao Cao's army, some people called Zhao Yun "Xiao Liu Ke", who was always victorious and undefeated.
But today, Cao Cao actually did something that ordinary people couldn't do.
"You can't make false claims as the good news hasn't arrived yet," Cao Cao said sternly.
However, the joy in his heart could no longer stop.
"All the generals are busy fighting. My lord, if you wait for another hour, there will be news." Jiang Ji said with a slight smile.
"Yes, yes, my lord's surprise attack, no matter how smart Zhao Zilong is, he would never have thought of it."
"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are my lord's most elite troops. Even if King Dongyang is here, they will fail. How can Zhao Yun be the opponent of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and how can he be the opponent of the King of Wei!"
"The King of Dongyang is best at surprise attacks. If he knew that my lord defeated the world-famous Yangzhou Army by surprise attack, he would be furious to death."
All the captains and counselors spoke out one after another to please Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao very happy.
Cao Cao has been under too much pressure recently. Maybe one day the Yangzhou Army's million-strong army will come over.
What a rare good mood tonight!
Although he only defeated 100,000 Yangzhou troops, he could not reach a thousand miles without taking small steps. Cao Cao still understood the truth.
"Prepare the food and wine to welcome the hero back!" Cao Cao said with a big wave of his hand.
"My lord, the food and drinks have been prepared a long time ago." Wang Jie said with a smile. He is an official in charge of logistics and has a delicate heart.
Cao Cao nodded, and then everyone began to wait for a long time.
In the distance, a long dragon of fire gradually appeared.
"Back! Back! The heroes are back!" Wang Wei danced excitedly.
Cao Cao showed a proud smile. Gradually, his smile faded. The army under the city was in a state of disarray. It looked like they had experienced a hard battle.
Thinking of the strength of the Yangzhou Army, Cao Cao didn't think much about it.
"I am Cao Hong, the hussar general, and I would like to ask the guard to open the city gate!"
Everyone looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Hong is a person close to Cao Cao. How could Cao Cao not recognize his voice and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
The moment the city gate opened, the army filed in very quickly.
Then Cao Hong and Xia Houshang climbed onto the city wall together.
"Welcome the two generals to return victoriously." Wang Jie cupped his hands and congratulated him.
Cao Hong and Xia Houshang ignored them and knelt down with a plop.
The ground of the city wall is made of stone, which is very hard. Kneeling down is painful. But neither of them said a word.
When Cao Cao saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.
"King Wei, we were caught in Zhao Zilong's ambush, please ask the king to punish us!" Cao Hong cried.
Boom!
Cao Cao's self-confidence suddenly collapsed, and the thing he least wanted to see happened.
"Didn't you successfully attack the Yangzhou camp?"
"We successfully destroyed the camp, but Zhao Zilong was well prepared and led his troops to attack suddenly. We were caught off guard."
Cao Cao felt dizzy and almost fell down.
"Where are Zihe and Zidan?"
"They are blocking the pursuers from behind."
Cao Cao held on and pretended to be relieved.
"As long as people are fine, that's fine."
Cao Hong and Xia Houshang immediately showed moved expressions. Why not die for such a lord?
"Two good generals, get up first." Cao Cao said with concern. The armors of the two generals were stained with blood, proving that they had fought a bloody battle.
"My lord, my subordinate is not doing well in his work. He has a heavy responsibility and cannot get up!"
Not only did Cao Hong not get up, but he kowtowed. Xia Houshang also burst into tears.
Cao Cao sighed and said nothing.He persisted and continued to look at the night.
"My lord, the food is getting cold, you might as well eat first." Wang E cupped his hands and said.
His intentions were good, but he was worried that Cao Cao would be hungry.
But where can Cao Cao eat it?
Thinking of the previous celebrationCao Cao was extremely shy.
"Drag him out and chop him."
Wang Jie was stunned. He didn't know why Cao Cao was suddenly angry.
"Lord, have mercy on me! Lord, have mercy on me!"
However, no one pitied him, especially the generals and counselors who had flattered him before, and they were even more silent.
If Cao Cao pursues the case, it will not be easy for them.
Jiang Ji shrank his neck and learned a lesson.
??Click!
Wang Ge¡¯s head fell to the ground, just under the city wall.
?Then the guards brought up Wang Jie¡¯s head. Cao Cao took one look at it and waved for the guards to take it away.
Half an hour later, Generals Cao Zhen and Cao Chun also came back, looking miserable.
They looked at Cao Hong and Xia Houshang who were still kneeling on the ground, and they also knelt down.
"Lord! Please punish me!"
Cao Cao held back his sadness and said, "It's good to come back safely. It's late at night, so go down and rest."
No one knew why, but Cao Cao had already strode away.
"Lord!" The four generals looked at each other and saw their own helplessness.
The next day, Cao Cao had an unbearable headache, but still insisted on getting up early.
Jiang Ji has been waiting for a long time.
"How were the casualties last night?"
Every time Cao Cao said a word, he felt pain.
Jiang Ji stayed up all night last night just to do statistics. This was a thankless job, but he had 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 went into battle with 100,000 tiger and leopard cavalry and 30,000 Huguan defenders, totaling 130,000 horses. Among them, 56,900 tiger and leopard cavalry returned and 25,697 returned from the defenders"
Cao Cao raised his hand and was about to slap the case down, but he suddenly gave up.
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 can those captured by the Yangzhou Army still come back?
It¡¯s definitely not possible.
Even if it could be redeemed with a ransom, Cao Cao couldn't afford so much money.
Including the losses of armor and weaponsCao Cao was in pain to his flesh.
Seeing Cao Cao in agony, Jiang Ji was also very sad.
"The Yangzhou Army suffered about 30,000 casualties."
A total of 30,000 people were injured and killed.
Jiang Ji could only come up with a rough figure. After all, he could not go to the Yangzhou military camp to count the number of people.
"At least 20,000 Yangzhou troops have lost their combat effectiveness."
This is barely good news.
"My lord, the four generals request punishment."
Jiang Ji presented the details of last night¡¯s battle.
Apart from being greedy at the beginning, Cao Chun performed pretty well later on.
Cao Hong's attack was unfavorable, but he was able to hold back Zhang He.
Xiahou Shang successfully destroyed the well gate and catapult.
Cao Zhen rescued Hubaoqi and cut off the rear.
