The Three Kingdoms Began with the Abduction of Luoshen - Chapter 155
The battle in White Wolf City ended sooner than everyone thought.
Even Cao Cao did not expect Zhang Liao to be so fierce and take the White Wolf City in one go.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Liao led 10,000 elite cavalry to approach White Wolf City, and he did have his strategic goals, but it was really incredible to directly kill the enemy and seize the city.
The battle report was quickly sent back.
With the help of Tian Chou, Zhang Liao gradually stabilized the situation in White Wolf City and waited for Cao Cao to arrange it.
As for the Yuan brothers, it was not a problem at all.
Along with the battle report, it was sent back to Cao Cao’s army.
Cao Cao immediately summoned the generals and counsellors to discuss the current situation, but when they opened the battle report, they immediately felt unbelievable.
The first person to see was Cao Cao, and everyone’s eyes gathered, only to see Cao Cao’s strange expression, but it didn’t seem like he was anxious and angry.
Xun You stood in front and was a little puzzled, but for a smart person, he could quickly guess something.
I saw Xun You asked:
“Could it be that there has been a great victory on the front line?”
Since Cao Cao was neither angry nor anxious, yet he seemed so strange, he must have encountered something strange.
And Zhang Liao was hand-picked by Cao Cao, and most of the changes in front line occupation made Cao Cao feel incredible.
Hearing Xun You’s words, Cao Cao calmed down and said:
“Gongda guessed right, the front line is indeed a great victory.”
The generals looked at each other, naturally puzzled.
Although the 10,000 elite cavalry led by Zhang Liao were among the elite of Cao’s army, it was not so simple to go deep behind the enemy.
The Wuhuan should not be underestimated, even if Cao Cao did have an advantage, their combat effectiveness was not much different.
Therefore, if Zhang Liao wanted to achieve great results, he also needed great skills.
His eyes swept over indifferently, and Cao Cao no longer betrayed him, and said loudly:
“It seems that we can relax a little bit, Tadun has been killed by Zhang Wenyuan, and now there are hundreds of thousands of prisoners in White Wolf City.”
Hearing Cao Cao’s words, let alone Xun You, the rest of the generals and advisors all widened their eyes in disbelief.
This is too fake…
Almost everyone thought, such news is really amazing, and even subverted their hearts.
There were only ten thousand people, but they actually won the White Wolf City directly?
Cao Cao didn’t give him a military order. As for being so desperate, it was really terrifying.
Although everyone thought it was unbelievable, since it was sent here, the battle report could not be faked.
After all, they are also on the way, and it will take a few days to arrive. It is clear at a glance whether it is true or false, and there is no need to exaggerate.
After confirming that this was true, everyone including Cao Cao began to think, how did Zhang Liao do it?
Such a difficult battle was easily won.
Originally, Cao Cao thought it would be a stalemate for a while, but now it seems that they can go back to Yecheng earlier.
Of course, the Yuan Brothers were also mentioned in the battle report.
The two ran too fast, Zhang Liao had no time to chase them, and this problem could only be left to Cao Cao to solve.
Cao Cao was not worried about this.
He already had his own considerations, and Xun Yu and Guo Jiajin said before, which reminded him a little bit.
So looking at the crowd, Cao Cao said loudly:
“Now that the White Wolf City has been won, we will march as soon as possible to properly handle the Wuhuan affairs.”
There is no need for the Yuan brothers to be in a hurry. First, resolve the matter in front of them, and then they will naturally be able to arrange it.
If Wuhuan didn’t get it done, and went after the Yuan brothers, most of them would have to take care of one thing and lose the other, but instead would fall into the inferior position.
Besides, the Yuan brothers now have nowhere to go, and they only have one choice left.
Anyway, if you know where they are going, it won’t be troublesome at that time.
Now, does the Gongsun clan of Liaodong really dare to provoke Cao Cao? I am afraid anyone with a discerning eye can guess the answer.
Cao Cao is powerful and powerful, but if he is not a fool, he cannot choose to confront Cao Cao head-on.
Not having enough strength is tantamount to seeking death.
Everyone had no objection to Cao Cao’s arrangement.
Therefore, the army is advancing at full speed.
…
a few days later.
Cao Cao finally led the army to the outside of the White Wolf City.
Feeling the smell of blood still permeating the air, Cao Cao could sense the intensity of the battle at that time.
At that time, Zhang Liao also paid a lot of losses.
But compared to the capture of White Wolf City, this loss is still acceptable, just like a transaction.
Although it is impossible for Cao Cao to treat his soldiers in this way under normal circumstances, casualties on the battlefield were originally relative.
Following Cao Cao’s side, Xu Chu was also surprised:
“I didn’t expect this piece of Wenyuan to be so powerful.”
Zhang Liao did not exist before, and although it was not completely transparent, few people paid attention to it.
In fact, Xun Yu did not remind Cao Cao, and Zhang Liao might not have this opportunity either.
Cao Cao nodded in agreement and said:
“It’s not worth giving him this opportunity. How many people in the world can do this?”
Now that Cao Cao has completely changed his mind on Zhang Liao, such a fierce general can naturally be reused, not left behind to eat ashes.
Although he is still in the Wuhuan territory, Cao Cao has long planned the south, and he still has a lot to do.
Since Cao Cao has become a hero, he naturally wants to unify the world, even if he has no intention of becoming an emperor.
But this goal is aspirational.
If Cao Cao can really be a regent, Cao Cao is also satisfied, and he really has no plans to **** the throne now.
But people’s hearts can change, and so does Cao Cao.
At first, he didn’t even think about the regent, he just wanted to assist the Han emperor to revitalize the Han family and become a minister.
But as the world fell apart, Cao Cao knew that this big man was hopeless and had to be completely eliminated.
So Cao Cao does what he wants to do in his own way.
Didn’t stay out of town too long.
Because the patrolling soldiers had noticed Cao Cao’s army, they quickly informed Zhang Liao of the news and came to greet him.
Zhang Liao, who heard the news, hurried out with Tian Chou.
Although it was his credit for capturing the White Wolf City, he was indeed grateful to Cao Cao, because he had this opportunity to succeed today.
The gate of White Wolf City slowly opened.
Most of the people in Cao Jun’s formation looked happy, so they could reduce many casualties.
Of course, some people sighed helplessly.
After Zhang Liao made great achievements, naturally there is nothing to do with them. Everyone came to the battlefield to make achievements.
If there is no credit, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
Zhang Liao led an army out to greet Cao Cao, bowed his hands and said:
“Prime Minister, Zhang Liao is lucky not to be disgraced!”
Cao Cao did not speak, his eyes swept across Zhang Liao, the atmosphere was a little nervous, but he saw Cao Cao smiled and said:
“Wenyuan, you did a good job, but are you injured?”
Zhang Liao was a little moved and flattered, and quickly cupped his hands:
“Reporting to the Prime Minister, the last general was not injured, but only ten thousand elite cavalry. In this battle, nearly three thousand people were lost.”
You must know that Zhang Liao brought a total of 10,000 people, and 3,000 casualties were indeed quite a lot, but this number was quite different from what Cao Cao and others thought.
You must know that this is where the Wuhuan Royal Court is located, and even Tadun was beheaded, but three thousand people were lost?
It’s good to die less, but it’s also surprising.
Zhang Liao’s thoughts were a little different. After all, the victory in this battle was not just because of their fighting.
The main reason is that Tadun came out and sent people’s heads, which led to the collapse of the Wuhuan army, which greatly reduced the losses of Cao’s army.
According to the situation at the time, if the fighting continued, I am afraid that the losses would really increase exponentially.
After all, the strength of soldiers is limited, and facing multiple foreign races at the same time, they will inevitably fall into the difficulty of exhaustion.
At that time, even Zhang Liao felt extremely dangerous.
After digesting some information, Cao Cao nodded slightly and said:
“It’s really surprising. When I return to Yecheng, I will definitely be seriously injured.”
Of course, Cao Cao’s words were not promises out of thin air. He had already thought about it, and he would definitely promote Zhang Liao.
Although Cao Cao is extremely powerful now, and his subordinates are considered to be fierce generals, but there are not many as powerful as Zhang Liao.
After all, Cao Cao thought of Guan Yu again.
At the beginning, Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liangwen Chou in the White Horse, but he solved a big problem for him, that force was so terrifying…
Cao Cao also often sighed, if Guan Yu defected to him first.
Then, Cao Cao thought of Chen Jue again and easily defeated Xu Chu, not knowing where his limits were.
But for Chen Jue, Cao Cao has no idea for the time being.
Not to mention Chen Jue’s personal strength, there are too many things that he knows, or that he has mastered too many magical affairs.
If he offends Chen Jue now, it will definitely affect Cao Cao’s plan. He still knows which one is more important.
In addition, Xun Yu also sent someone to send news before.
It was said that Chen Jue personally took people away by boat.
In this regard, Cao Cao did have some intentions. If he took this opportunity to seize Qingyun Village, he might be able to make a lot of money.
But this idea was directly rejected by Cao Cao.
The temporary benefits may be very good, but the final result may be much more troublesome than at the moment, and he does not want to see it.
Chen Jue and the others were destined to come back.
He still tries his best to do his own thing. After all, the current Cao Cao is not short of money, and he will soon be short of food.
Chen Jue and Zhen’s cooperation, but with the help of the official force, naturally have to give some benefits to Cao Cao.
It is this part of the interests that has made Cao Cao very satisfied.
The human heart is not strong enough to swallow an elephant, especially if you are not absolutely sure of yourself, you must not let your delusions happen casually.
Hearing Cao Cao’s words, Zhang Liao looked solemn, and actually knelt down and saluted:
“The kindness that the prime minister knew and met, Zhang Liao will never forget.”
This voice pulled Cao Cao back from his imagination, and he coughed dryly:
“There’s no need for that, what’s the situation in White Wolf City now?”
This is the official business of Cao Cao and others.
Zhang Liao was also prepared for this, or let Tian Chou make arrangements, and some things had to be done by scholars.
Tian Chou was beside Zhang Liao, and at this moment he cupped his hands and said:
“Reporting to the Prime Minister, the situation in White Wolf City is stable now, but there are nearly 200,000 prisoners among them. In addition to the Wuhuan foreigners, there are also Han people who were trapped by the Yuan brothers. They are all in White Wolf City now.”
Cao Cao nodded, this matter must be arranged properly.
It is extremely inappropriate to directly kill foreigners.
Although Tadun is dead, Wuhuan has not been destroyed, and their territory is more than one White Wolf City.
And besides the Wuhuan, there are many foreign clans, Cao Cao must take their situation into consideration.
Only by pacifying these captives, or taming these captives, can Cao Cao truly stabilize the north.
Make foreigners dare not invade, and plan with peace of mind.
Once foreigners form an alliance and make concerted efforts to attack the big man, even with Cao Cao’s current strength, it will be difficult.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Chou introduced it in detail.
It includes a lot of data.
Cao Cao was quite satisfied after hearing this, and nodded:
“Very good, then let’s enter the city.”
For the specific plan, Cao Cao is ready to discuss with his advisors.
Cao Cao’s group of advisers can be said to be the most luxurious in the world today, although there are still two people Xun Yu.
But this lineup isn’t bad either.
It was the same with Yuan Shao back then. The group of advisers under his command was even more credible than Cao Cao’s.
However, these advisors had their own small groups and formed different opinions, which directly confused Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao didn’t know how to choose, or he just chose the wrong one.
He was defeated by Cao Cao.
The reason why Cao Cao is better than Yuan Shao is that he can distinguish how to choose, and will not be easily influenced by the advice of his advisors.
The advisor’s suggestion can of course be listened to, but it must also be combined with his own actual judgment. Cao Cao is also a powerful person.
Since Cao Cao spoke, everyone entered the city.
Looking closely, what Zhang Liao said was true. Although he had just experienced the war, it did not appear too messy.
As for those prisoners, it is not to say that they are directly imprisoned, but to arrange patrols by soldiers to restrict everyone from going out.
In this White Wolf City, except for Cao Jun, everyone was captured.
Looking around, Cao Cao couldn’t help sighing:
“These Yuan brothers really don’t know what is good or bad. They have to fight against the loneliness. In the end, it is the common people who will be harmed.”
Everyone was silent.
Then he entered the Wuhuan Palace.
The general arrangement has been made.
Cao Cao looked at the advisors and said:
“How do you guys think these prisoners should be dealt with?”
Xun You bowed and said:
“Reporting to the Prime Minister, Wei Chen feels that those Han people should be released back to the big Han. As for the Wuhuan prisoners, there is a good solution, which may allow the Prime Minister to solve the trouble once and for all.”
Cao Cao was thoughtful, but also smiled and said:
“Gongda, don’t betray you, just say what you think.”
Xun You quickly said:
“Since most of the Wuhuan people in White Wolf City have not left, why don’t the Prime Minister take this opportunity to support a Shanyu.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao had already made up his mind, nodded and said:
“If this plan can be implemented, it will indeed ensure the stability of our Dahan border.”
With Tadun’s death in battle, Wuhuan was undoubtedly in a situation of no owner. If Cao Cao pushed one out, it would not be impossible.
In addition, the Wuhuan’s power was weakened, and Cao Cao used a large army to coerce. In all likelihood, this matter would be successful.
Fist hard enough is the only king.
If his own strength is not strong enough, no matter how perfect the plan is, it will be useless. Cao Cao believes this.
The rest of the people also came up with ideas.
But their final opinions were also in favor of Xun You’s proposal.
As long as the plan is reached, they will be able to be more stable in the future and don’t have to worry too much about it.
After all, Cao Cao’s heart is toward the world.
This goal is extremely ambitious and requires a lot of resources and efforts, and it is not easy to achieve.
Since he got the answer, Cao Cao didn’t hesitate and arranged it immediately.
…
At the same time, Chen Jue and his party.
