Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 416 Lao Cao, what about the half-year vacation you promised me? (Thanks to [Carved Puppet] for the reward)

Guandu Cao Jun camp.

When the battle came to an end, many Cao soldiers were packing up their things in the camp in twos and threes, with an unreal feeling in their hearts, "Win?"

"We actually won?"

"We were about to be breached by Yuan Jun, why did we suddenly win?"

Although the night attack on Wuchao was not hidden from the soldiers below,

But because the action was too hasty, many people only knew that the prime minister and the hussar general led a group of cavalry to go out in the camp, but they didn't know what they were doing.

If Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others were not still in the camp, the soldiers might have suspected that the two bastards were going to run away by themselves.
Fortunately, the soldiers who returned from Wuchao bragged about their experiences to them, and only then did the soldiers who stayed behind in the camp gradually understand the truth of the matter.

The black nest was burned, and millions of stones and grains were reduced to ashes.

Yuan Shao was defeated and left the frontline soldiers to escape alone. Zhang He, Gao Lan and other generals, together with nearly [-] desperate Yuan Jun, surrendered to Cao Cao under Xu You's persuasion.

After this battle, there were nearly 10 Yuan Jun who surrendered, plus Yuan Jun's wounded soldiers and prisoners captured by Cao Jun's soldiers!

One hundred thousand prisoners!
In terms of numbers, it is twice as many as Cao Cao's current number of soldiers
"The captives must not be sloppy, and they must be dispersed and sent out as soon as possible, so as to avoid having two hearts when they gather together for a long time."

"Xuzhou and Huainan are just short of people. Send them there, first undergo labor reform, then distribute fertile land, and at the same time do a good job in ideological education"

"Soldiers are fighting, attacking the heart is the first. If these Yuan soldiers are used well, they will be a sharp sword for our Northern Expedition in the future."

"The line from Baima to Guandu has been destroyed. Mr. Cao can offer them favorable conditions for relocation, and can also implement military and civilian settlements in these places, so that the people can resume their normal life rhythm as soon as possible."

All the civil and military personnel, including the newly surrendered Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Yiqu and others, crowded together in the large tent of the Chinese army.

In the huge tent, only Lu Yan walked back and forth in the limited space, arranging post-war affairs while walking.

Cao Cao sat on the main seat, looked at the energetic Lu Yan with a smile on his face, and said in his heart: "I have never seen such a passionate Mr. Lu, it seems that this victory over Yuan Shao completely got rid of his heart problems! "

Unexpectedly, after Lu Yanxu finished making the arrangements, he suddenly smiled at Cao Cao and said, "Mr. Cao, my subordinates have completed all the work arrangements and entrustments. In the next six months, I will thank you and my colleagues." Already!"

Cao Cao: "???"

Everyone: "???"

What the hell?What will all work arrangements and entrustments be done?What in the next six months?

Cao Cao and the others were a little confused by Lu Yan's words.

Seeing Lao Cao's bewildered expression, Lu Yan reminded him appropriately: "Mr. Cao, have you forgotten? Before raiding Wuchao, you promised me that if you win this battle, you will give me half a year's leave!"

Cao Cao vaguely remembered that Lu Yan had indeed mentioned such a thing.

"It's just...why do you always feel something is wrong?" Lao Cao thought about it, wondering in his heart: "Did I promise to give him a vacation? It seems that I didn't agree!"

Seeing that Boss Cao's face changed several times, Lu Yan felt bad, "Oops, Lao Cao is about to react!"

Sure enough, before Lu Yan could continue to speak, Cao Cao stared at Lu Yan suspiciously and asked, "Mr. Lu, it seems that I didn't agree to give you half a year's leave?"

"You agreed, I'm sure!" Lu Yan tried to die.

"No, I didn't." Lao Cao was extremely firm, tit for tat.

Lu Yan and Cao Cao were arguing about the half-year holiday, but Xu You, Zhang He and others who had just joined were stunned.

It wasn't until the two chatted for half an hour that Cao Cao finally compromised and agreed to give Lu Yan half a month's leave.

Although I am not reconciled, half a month's vacation is better than nothing
Boss Cao’s routine failed, and Lu Yan’s expression was sour and expressionless.But no one dared to ask any more questions about this matter, to touch his brow.

But in fact, Lu Yankong was overjoyed by the white wolf, and he was already happy
After the matter between the captive and Lu Yan came to an end, there were still important things to discuss.

Although the Battle of Guandu was victorious, Cao Cao only repelled Yuan Shao's invasion.

Cao Cao's adviser, Dong Zhao, stood up and said: "Master, after Yuan Shao's defeat, the crisis in the north has been resolved, and I can rest easy in the Central Plains!"

However, Cheng Yu stood up and objected: "Gongren's words are wrong! Although Yuan Shao was defeated, his prestige, popularity, and popular support in the four prefectures of Hebei are still there. Don't be careless!"

Another person stood up and said: "What Zhongde said is true. I believe that my lord should immediately lead the army to the north and wipe out Yuan Shao completely in one fell swoop, so as to get rid of the trouble in my heart!"

All the counselors said something to each other, making Cao Cao a little uncertain.

After everyone finished speaking, Cao Cao finally looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Wen Ruo, what do you think we should do now?"

As Cao Cao's chief steward, Xun Yu has the most say in whether his family still has the strength to make the Northern Expedition.

Xun Yu stood up, clasped his hands and replied, "My lord, my subordinates don't think it's appropriate for us to start a war now, and we should rest and recuperate."

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Xun Yu continued, "This subordinate makes this judgment for three main reasons.

One: Although we have won this battle, we have suffered heavy losses. Although there is still a surplus of food, the soldiers have been exhausted after half a year of fighting, and now almost everyone is wounded, morale is not high, and many people have already died war weariness. "

Cao Cao nodded and motioned, "Continue."

"Secondly, as Zhong De said before, Yuan Shao was only defeated in the battle of Guandu in terms of military strategy, but his prestige, popularity, and popular support in the four prefectures of Hebei are still there, and he can pull up another 20 troops in an instant. If we want the Northern Expedition, we still have to find a more suitable time."

The two main points were stated, and everyone was already amazed.

Even Xu You, who had a high self-esteem on weekdays, faced a perfect man like Xun Yu, and couldn't help thinking that he was invincible.

"Thirdly, Liu Biao in Jingzhou has made some changes recently. The defenders in Xinye frequently tested our army's bottom line; Liu Ziyang in Lujiang also sent news that Sun Quan in Jiangdong has quelled the civil strife in recent days, and he has taken advantage of the trend to subdue the big and small families in Jiangdong. His ambition has gradually been revealed. "

"What Wen Ruo said is very true!" Cao Cao nodded and said with determination, "Everyone, you have worked hard to defeat Yuan Shao this time! However, if we want to completely eliminate Yuan Shao, we need to recharge our energy and find the right time.

Now, I will go back to Xuchang first, and cultivate for a while. "

"My lord is wise!"

Although Yuan Shao lost more than 40 troops, his foundation is still there, and Cao Cao himself also suffered heavy losses, so he has no strength to start the Northern Expedition now.

What they have to do now is to recharge their energy and store up their energy. After their vitality recovers, they can join Lu Bu in the Northern Expedition to Yuan Shao!
