After the war subsided, after some counting, Dian Wei and others discovered that more than 7,000 Black Mountain bandits had been killed in this battle, and more than 4,000 people had been captured.
Except for Bai Rao who escaped, the rest of the Black Mountain bandit leaders were all killed in one fell swoop.
The casualties on our side were less than a thousand.
Such a disparity in the casualty ratio can be said to be a huge victory!
That night.
In the lobby.
In order to celebrate this great victory, Xun Yu specially ordered a banquet to gather people.
"This time we were able to defeat the Black Mountain bandits. It was all because of General Dian's planning. Let us raise a toast to General Dian."
Xun Yu said with a smile.
Regardless of whether someone is giving Dian Wei advice or not, Dian Wei is the absolute hero of this victory!
Dian Wei also quickly raised his glass and drank with everyone.
After a few glasses of wine, the banquet became more lively.
Xun Yu took the wine glass, walked to Dian Wei and said with a smile,
"General Dian, you have worked hard these days."
But Dian Wei seemed to have something on his mind. He looked towards the backyard and said absently,
"You're welcome, Xunjun Cheng."
Xun Yu saw it and said doubtfully,
"Is there something wrong with General Dian?"
"Well... I suddenly have a pain in my stomach, and I want to go to the hut."
Dianwei hesitated.
"It's okay, General Dian, please help yourself."
Xun Yu waved his hand.
Dian Wei apologized and walked towards the backyard.
After leaving the lobby, he ran like crazy and went straight to Yang Ling's residence.
Before he could push the door open, he could smell the fragrance coming from the yard!
"Brother!"
Dian Wei quickly opened the door and walked in.
There was a table in the yard, with several plates of dishes that Dian Wei had never seen before.
The aroma he smelled just now was from these delicacies!
"Second brother, you are finally here!"
Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing and said,
"The food eldest brother cooked today smells so delicious. If it weren't for waiting for you, I would have started eating it!"
"Thank you very much, brother!"
Dian Wei thanked him and sat down impatiently.
After yesterday's victory, Yang Ling promised Dian Wei that he would personally prepare a table of delicious food.
This is why Dian Wei abandoned Xun Yu and the others in the county.
After all, enjoying the meal is the most important thing!
Yang Ling took the last piece of hair and blood and walked out of the house.
Seeing Dian Wei who had already sat down, he couldn't help but smile and said,
"You came in time. If you come a little later, it won't be your fault."
"Brother, please sit down quickly."
Dian Wei said impatiently.
"Okay, okay!"
Yang Ling smiled and put the dish in his hand on the table.
After the three of them were done, Yang Ling took out a bottle of Feitian Moutai from his arms.
Looking at the exquisite packaging and the jade-like bottle, Dian Wei's eyes widened and he couldn't help but swallow.
"Brother, is this the good wine you said?"
"good."
Yang Ling smiled, slowly opened the bottle cap, and began to pour the wine out.
"This kind of wine is not available to ordinary people in our hometown."
This is not nonsense.
In later generations, the price of Feitian Moutai was driven up by speculation.
Ordinary people would not drink this wine if they were fine.
When the clear and transparent white wine was poured into the glass by Yang Ling, a strange and mellow wine aroma instantly spread out!
Even Zhao Yun, who doesn't like drinking very much, had a strange look in his eyes.
"Brother, this wine smells so good!"
"It tastes better!"
Yang Ling smiled and handed the two wine glasses to Dian Wei and Zhao Yun respectively.
"Come, let's drink this cup together to celebrate our victory!"
The three of them raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
Yang Ling came from a later life and was used to drinking liquor, so he could naturally adapt to it.
But Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are different.
They usually drink low-alcohol wine made from sorghum and corn. Where have they ever drank such high-alcohol liquor?
After just one cup, the two of them felt burning from their throats to their stomachs!
“What a spicy drink!”
Dian Wei couldn't help but said.
"Haha, compared to Erguotou, this Maotai is not spicy."
Yang Ling smiled and said,
“You have to learn to taste it slowly and let your tongue fully feel it.”
Under his guidance, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun raised a glass of wine again and began to taste the wine slowly.
This time, the two of them felt that the liquor was not so spicy, but rather elegant, delicate, mellow and fragrant, with a feeling of endless aftertaste!
“Good wine!”
Zhao Yun couldn't help but praise.
"Brother, have another drink!"
After two glasses of wine, Dian Wei became a little tipsy, but he still raised his glass and asked Yang Ling to fill it up for him.
The three brothers drank wine and tasted the delicious food.
After a while, even Yang Ling became a little tipsy.
He suddenly seemed to remember something and asked,
"Second brother, have you sent someone to report to Duke Cao?"
"Brother, don't worry. I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to Duke Cao as you requested."
Dian Wei laughed drunkenly.
"That's good, come on, keep drinking!"
Yang Ling smiled and raised his glass.
It's just that the three brothers were drinking enthusiastically, which made Xun Yu who was waiting suffer.
Until the night fell, Xun Yu could not wait for Dian Wei to come back!
…
Montenegro.
Cao Cao walked into the stronghold and looked at the empty stronghold, his expression instantly darkened.
Guo Jia, who was following him, said softly,
"Lord, we have just sent people to capture several Black Mountain bandits. We learned from their mouths that the Black Mountain bandits are out in force this time, intending to take over Dongjun."
Cao Cao's face became more and more embarrassed.
If Dongjun is lost, everything will be over!
"Is it still too late to return to the teacher now?"
Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.
"have no idea."
Guo Jia smiled bitterly.
Although Puyang was the seat of a county and the city was strong, in the end there were only 3,000 newly recruited soldiers in the city.
With just that few manpower, can they stop a hundred thousand Black Mountain bandits?
No one has any confidence.
But Dongjun is the foundation, no matter what, we must return to rescue!
Cao Cao took a deep breath and turned to look at Xiahou Dun and other generals who were following him.
"Pass my military order to pack your bags and return to Shidong County immediately!"
"Here!"
All the soldiers took the order.
But before everyone could take action, they heard the sound of rapid horse hooves.
Immediately after, a war horse rushed out from a distance. Before it could get closer, the rider on the horse shouted loudly,
"My lord, General Dian sent a military report from Puyang!"
Everyone's heart sank.
Could it be that Puyang is lost?
Cao Cao was also panicked, but he forced himself to step forward and took a letter from the messenger.
After he read the content of the letter, the gloom on his face was instantly wiped away, and he couldn't help laughing and said,
"First of all...General Dian has indeed lived up to my trust!"
Guo Jia, Xiahou Dun and others on the side looked confused, wondering what happened to make Cao Cao so excited!
Cao Cao held up the letter, looked at his men, and said excitedly,
"General Dian defeated the Black Mountain Army in Puyang, killing 7,000 enemies and capturing 4,000! Most of the leaders of the Black Mountain Bandits were also killed by him!"
