Before the sky was completely bright, almost everyone in Cao Cao's camp had " woken up ". All the cavalrymen rushed out at once.
The infantry followed their commander out of the camp and rushed in the direction of the Yellow Turban camp.
The shouts shook the sky, and the entire battlefield was on the verge of exploding. The Yellow Turban camp did not even have time to prepare when Cao Ren and Cao Chun's cavalry had already rushed to the front of the camp.
They waved their weapons and rushed into the camp to start a bloody battle.
This battle lasted for half a day.
Until the sun set.
The Yellow Turban bandits had already lost their commander, and their warhorses had been stolen by Dian Wei and Xu Zhen, who then set fire to the camp.
In the midst of the chaos, the two of them actually managed to escape.
Only a few people were left in the camp. With the sudden battle between the armies, it was impossible to search and pursue them. Thus, the East Wing Moth Bandits, who had been tired for the entire night, dragged their tired bodies and rushed to the final battle.
Where did they find the energy to do so? Moreover, the higher-ups of the military camp couldn't even issue military orders.
They were directly killed by the cavalry army. When the infantry army arrived, the battlefield was instantly one-sided.
Finally, after the sun set.
He surrendered.
……
In this battle, Cao Cao had 300,000 surrendered soldiers.
Millions of people, women and children.
They were all the families of these moth thieves.
The only fly in the ointment was that he did not obtain enough gold, silver, silk, and cloth from Yu Du.
A large portion of the rations had also been burned, but no matter what, the moth bandits in Yanzhou had been pacified.
Within a day, Cao Cao's reputation was spread by the people.
A general who could pacify the bandits and a state shepherd who could fight must be a wise ruler.
The people's hearts could naturally be relied on.
……
that night
The army gathered and the generals reported their gains. Cao Cao was overjoyed but deeply moved.
Unfortunately, Minister Bao couldn't see it.
Cao Ren was the last to arrive, followed by the Lord of Merit. After placing the book on the table, he quickly walked up to Cao Cao, lowered his body, and said in a deep voice,""Big brother, those two are in my tent.”
"How to deal with it is up to you."
"A great reward."
Cao Cao replied straightforwardly.
Of course, he knew who Cao Ren was talking about.
Xu Zhen, Xu Yifeng.
It was the one who disobeyed the order on the battlefield. He broke out from the left wing and faced Yu Du head-on. He ambushed him from dozens of miles away and instantly beheaded Yu Du.
And burned down his main camp.
They robbed dozens of precious warhorses and left. It should be known that the Yellow Turban warhorses were not many, and they did not have enough fodder to feed them. Robbing dozens of horses was equivalent to losing dozens of elite cavalry.
In an instant, the main poison camp, which was not well-guarded to begin with, was emptied.
Such a great merit, he had to be rewarded.
"But he…"
"You will be promoted to the rank of Commander of the Army, and your army will be expanded to three hundred. As for disobeying orders on the battlefield…you will be punished with six months of salary.”
Cao Ren's expression relaxed and he quickly cupped his fists.""Alright, I'll go and inform him now."
" Also," Cao Cao added without looking up, causing Cao Ren to stop in his tracks.
"Ask the two of them to come see me. I want to see this Xu Yifeng again.”
Cao Cao raised his head and smiled." Hmph, I like his ideas."”
"This person probably has the talent of a Great General! I want to confirm it personally."
"Here!"
Cao Ren's heart tightened.
The talent of a general?
Heavens, Big Brother would never praise people like this.
Even we, the clan relatives and generals that he brought over, have never done so.
Even Brother Yuan Rang, who was stationed in East County, only said that he was brave and could be the leader of the three armies. He did not mention a general.
A general not only needed to be brave, but also had to have the charm of leading troops and the intelligence of the art of war.
Furthermore, they had to be experienced in battle and be able to understand the ever-changing opportunities on the battlefield, turning them into advantages and then turning them into dominance.
That was the talent of a Great General.
He actually valued it so much?
Cao Ren muttered as soon as he walked out of the tent.
Then…was my voice a little too loud just now?
He returned to his tent with a perturbed mood. He coughed at the door and cleared his throat. Then, he lifted the curtain and revealed a smile.
"Congratulations, both of you."
Cao Ren was tall and handsome. He looked like a general of the army.
This smile was somewhat out of place.
"What joy?"
Xu Zhen was admiring the saber on the knife holder and the tea beside it.
One had to know that tea leaves were a luxury in this era.
Only aristocratic families, aristocratic families, or wealthy merchants could afford to drink it. It was impossible for ordinary people's families. Even if they were well-off, they would not spend money to buy tea leaves.
Xu Zhen had not drunk it for a long time.
Although he didn't like to play with words in his previous life, he could at least have a sip of tea.
"Yifeng, the Lord promoted you to General Qu. Hmm…you can expand the army by 400, but you have to raise the manpower and money yourself…"
Cao Cao didn't say this clearly.
However, this had always been the case. If you had the ability to pull people into the camp, you could naturally become a general. It could be said that the dukes who had not yet reached a certain scale in the early stages all used this strategy.
As for how you get people to join the army, that's your ability.
"Ah?"
When Xu Zhen heard this, his face immediately twisted. He immediately picked up the straight-spine saber on the table and drew it to his neck.
"Then cut me down. What kind of reward is this?!”
Cao Ren was stunned.
Dian Wei was also a little confused.
What's wrong? You're not usually like this…
Dian Wei didn't turn his head, but his eyes were wide open as he looked at Xu Zhen from the side.
His mouth was slightly open, and his mind was blank.
What are you doing…
Xu Zhen continued to be unconvinced." We won such a big battle. If you don't reward me, you want me to pay money to recruit soldiers?"!”
"I have lost so many brothers. What about the compensation? What about their families? As a general, shouldn't I take care of them?”
"How can we have the money to recruit soldiers now?!”
Dian Wei's brain didn't work for a moment.
No, we have money.
Didn't they just rob a few chests of gold?
At that time, each of them had put ten to twenty catties in their pockets.
Lao Wang even took at least ten feet of cloth.
These were enough to recruit thousands of soldiers.
Compensation my ass.
Thus, he stared at Xu Zhen. Although he still didn't understand, Dian Wei planned to watch and learn.
Cao Ren quickly came over and stopped Xu Zhen from doing anything rash. He smiled apologetically and said,""Yi Feng, don't be agitated, don't be agitated.”
"Then, then how about this, I will personally give you a hundred gold, and you can use it to compensate your brothers. How about it?”
"After that, I will give you 3,000 dan of military rations. I will give it to you immediately when we return.”
"Just treat it as giving me face!"
When Xu Zhen heard this, his expression slowly eased. He was no longer excited, but his brows were tightly knitted. His delicate face was filled with anger.
After a long time, he shook his head with a bitter smile.”
" We've worked so hard, and this is all we have…Hehe…"
Actually, he was already happy.
Awesome!
F * ck, there's actually money for disobeying orders on the battlefield?!
Boss Cao was still a kind person.
Gaga!
Cao Ren felt guilty when he saw his expression.
He was indeed a little poor now.
There were still many places that needed money to deal with the aftermath of the poison, so he could only temporarily put up with his own deployment.
"Sigh…"
Xu Zhen sighed again. He had a feeling of seeing through the vicissitudes of life.
Then, he naturally put the sword on his waist.
Dian Wei's eyes lit up.
He agilely walked to the desk, picked up the tea cake wrapped in silk, and followed Xu Zhen out.
Cao Ren was stunned.
He wanted to stop her, but he felt guilty and couldn't say anything…
Then, her heart ached.
The tea that my lord bestowed upon me…
I bought a sword made of refined iron…
