In Cao Cao's tent.
The generals drank water instead of wine and toasted each other.
The Western Liang Army had returned victorious from their ambush on Sun Jian. They had never expected to be ambushed.
There were already countless people fleeing in panic.
With Hwa Xiong killed, the group of dragons lost their leader, and the last wave of resistance also surrendered.
In this battle, 3,000 people were beheaded and more than 6,200 were captured.
He captured 2,000 high-grade horses from Xiliang, 4,000 sets of iron armor, 6,000 sets of leather armor, and 7,000 podaos.
This should also include the resources of Sun Jian's army that the Western Liang army had seized.
Cao Cao roughly estimated that the reward was about 200 million.
However, if such a huge battle result was converted into money, it would be more than two billion!
It could even be said that these 2,000 high-quality Western Liang warhorses were already worth 2 billion!
And it was definitely priceless!
If he hadn't met Chen Xuan, he wouldn't even dare to dream that he could actually produce such a battle record!
"This cup is for Tai Ah!" Cao Cao couldn't help but smile as he walked to Chen Xuan's table with a wine cup and bowed deeply.
Chen Xuan stood up and bowed.”
"My lord, it's too boring to celebrate with water!
"Such a great victory, why not drink to your heart's content!”
Cao Hong was truly carefree in his heart, wishing he could get drunk.
Cao Ren also laughed heartily.
"That's right, my liege. If it wasn't for Mister Taia's plan, this subordinate would never have imagined that we could achieve such a great victory!”
Cao Cao laughed mockingly." I told you to call me Mister Tai Ah, but you refused. Why are you all so proactive now?"”
Cao Ren rubbed his head and smiled.""In the past, what Little Sir said was all empty words. Your Excellency can understand it, but we, the few of us, can't.
"Even if I understand, I also feel that little mister might be a strategist on paper like Zhao Kuo.
"But now, we can actually obtain such a complete victory. We don't even dare to dream about it!”
Xiahou Dun also walked up to Chen Xuan with a glass of water and bowed.
"Previously, we were disrespectful to Young Sir in private and underestimated Sir. This cup apologizes to Sir.
"In the future, as long as the lord agrees, we will not disobey your plans!
"Me too!" Cao Hong also carried a glass of water and walked to Chen Xuan to bow.
"Normally, we don't dare to be impudent in front of the lord, but we speak ill of you in private, especially me, Cao Hong.
"I apologize to Little Mister today. If you still dare to spout nonsense in the future, tell Little Mister to chop off my tongue!”
Chen Xuan laughed heartily and shook his head."What use do I have for General Zilian's tongue?
"Xuan had no size before, but he was treated so well by the Lord.
"It's human nature to make all the generals feel ill at ease.
"Today, the generals have cut open their hearts and dug out their lungs.”
Chen Xuan finished speaking and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.
Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan also toasted Chen Xuan.
Then, Cao Chun and Cao Ren walked straight to Dian Wei, who had been invited into the tent by Cao Cao, and toasted him.
"Hero Dian is a true hero. This cup is for heroes.”Dian Wei didn't hide his expression, waving his hand with a look of disdain.
"This water is very good to drink.”
Cao Ren and his brother looked at each other and smiled.
As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes, and heroes cherish heroes.
Dian Wei was so brave and straightforward, it suited their temperaments.
"Do you know why I don't allow you to drink tonight?" Cao Cao laughed.”
The smiles on the generals 'faces instantly disappeared as they looked at Cao Cao with confusion.
Tai Ah, tell them." Cao Cao laughed.
Chen Xuan's expression returned to normal, and his voice was calm.
"The battle tonight is not over yet.
"This water is indeed not enough.
"Therefore, I hope that tomorrow, I can have a good drink with the generals at Mushui Pass.”
" What?!" Cao Ren spoke first with a face full of disbelief.
The generals were also shocked.
Only Cao Cao smiled and drank the water.
"Little mister, do you mean that we can still take the Mushui Pass tonight?”Xiahou Dun looked surprised. His mouth was so wide that a fist could fit inside.
Such a great victory was like a dream to him.
Now, Chen Xuan said that they could still take down Mushui Pass!？
A crisp sound was heard.
Xiahou Dun immediately patted his face to make sure that he was not dreaming." Really?”
Cao Cao laughed." Of course it's true. Would Tai Ah lie to you?"”
Chen Xuan sat upright and said seriously,""My lord, don't overestimate Xuan. Xuan is only eighty to ninety percent confident.
"It's not a foolproof plan.
"Whether or not we can take down Mushui Pass depends on the performance of the generals.
"Secondly, it depends on the performance of Li Ru, the commander of the Western Liang army, at Lishui Pass.
"Thirdly, we want to see the performance of Xu Rong, who was released by General Zilian.
"Fourthly, it depends on the performance of our captives.
"What Xuan Energy does is just to lay the foundation.
"As for whether the Xi Liang people will follow the path laid out by Xuan, it's still unknown.”
Cao Ren was excited once again. He was now a little superstitious about Chen Xuan's ability.
Cao Ren patted his chest and said,"We'll do whatever Little Mister wants us to do!"?
"As for the Western Liang Army, I don't think they can escape Little Sir's divine plan!”
The generals nodded in agreement.
When Cao Cao saw this, he signaled Chen Xuandao to tell him his plan.
Chen Xuan nodded." First of all, I would like to ask the Generals to hand over all the captives."”
" This…" The generals looked at each other in a daze.
Captives were one of the greatest gains of this battle.
That was a total of more than 6,000 people, and they were the valiant soldiers of Western Liang!
These people were split up and distributed to the various armies.
In time, they could create an elite army.
At the very least, they would use the disobedient people as cannon fodder and let them hold the front line.
Wouldn't that be much better than their ten thousand new recruits?
Out of the ten thousand soldiers in Cao Cao's army, nearly seven thousand of them were newly recruited to fill the situation.
They could fight with the wind, but if they fought against the wind, they could be said to have no combat strength.
If not for Cao Cao's orders to reward those who were beheaded and captured, these people might not even be able to achieve today's results.
Xiahou Dun was the first to express his stance.
"If we can really take down Mushui Pass, won't there be more captives?”
When the generals heard Xiahou Dun's words, they nodded in agreement to hand over the captives.
"But I wonder, what is the use of Little Mister using captives?”Xiahou Dun asked.
