What, it turned out to be the body of Cao Jun who drowned, and there was such a thing. When Xia Houyuan said this, Cao Cao was very surprised. He was a little surprised and said, "There is such a thing. I am very curious. Everyone, follow me to find out!"
After saying this, Cao Cao did not give Xia Houyuan a chance to object, and led everyone towards the boat full of corpses parked on the shore. Xun You and Cheng Yu were also curious and followed Cao Cao!
Seeing that Cao Cao's curiosity was rising again, Xia Houyuan went to explore the shore on his own. He had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and followed with his personal guards, ready to protect Cao Cao's safety at any time in case of any unexpected events!
When Cao Cao arrived at the riverside, he was escorted by Xia Houyuan and Xu Chu, and accompanied by two military advisors. Before Cao Cao could take everyone to check the specific situation in detail, he was discovered by the generals who had just gone to inquire about the situation. Seeing that the lord has arrived, come and pay homage!
"I have come to see you, my lord, and I have troubled you to come in person. It is really a capital crime. Please punish me, my lord!" Everyone bowed to Cao Cao and apologized with shame!
"Haha, everyone has worked hard. I just came here out of curiosity. It has nothing to do with you. Everyone did a good job, so what's the crime!" Cao Cao smiled very satisfied with everyone's performance!
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao took Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, who was a little excited, to personally step forward and enter the ship to find out. The generals were very interested in seeing Cao Cao, so they naturally followed him to protect their lord's safety!
When Cao Cao led everyone to the boat parked on the shore again, he saw soldiers carrying corpses from inside. It seemed that they planned to restrain their dead brothers. This action was spontaneous and there was no order in it!
Seeing Cao Cao nodding his head, he was very satisfied. He led everyone straight out of the ship. When he walked in, he saw that as Xia Houyuan said, the ship was full of corpses of dead soldiers!哽噺繓赽奇奇奇奇影院盧|w~w~w.
Cao Cao, who was a little unbelieving in evil, took everyone to see several ships, but they all got the same result. Cao Cao finally gave up, although he didn't know the enemy's intention. But this does not prevent Cao Cao from issuing orders and commanding the army to transport the corpses!
Cao Cao was already feeling guilty, but now that he saw the bodies of the soldiers he had given up being sent back, he was given a chance to atone for his sins. Cao Cao would definitely not let this go, and immediately gave orders to everyone!
"Pass my general order, and the army will take action immediately to collect the bodies of the dead brothers, and then send them home together, so that their souls can return to their hometown and enjoy the sacrifices of the township party forever!"
"My lord is so benevolent and virtuous that I move heaven and earth. I admire you so much. We will obey your orders!" After hearing Cao Cao's instructions, everyone admired them very much and spoke out words of praise and accepted the orders!
"Thank you so much, lord. We have thanked lord on behalf of our dead brothers. They know all about it, and they must be deeply grateful for your lord's great kindness!"
"Thank you so much, my lord, my lord's kindness touches heaven and earth!"
"Thank you, Lord, for your great kindness. We are deeply grateful that we have died in the service of Your Lord!"
Hearing Cao Cao's kind act, Cao Cao's soldiers who were originally a little wary in military morale were instantly conquered and made them feel a little grateful. They all praised Cao Cao's great kindness with one voice, and then died to repay their lord's great kindness!
"Hahahahahaha!"
The military morale that had been somewhat lost due to his small favor was regained. This made Cao Cao very proud and he laughed unconsciously!
Everyone saw Cao Cao's pride, and although they felt it was a bit inappropriate, they didn't say a word to remind their lord at the moment when he was happy. Don't ask for trouble, the lord is already very benevolent, so don't worry about these details!
So, the generals ignored Cao Cao and let him laugh here. They took the soldiers and went to collect the corpses of their brothers under the orders of the Lord General!
After the soldiers left, they saw no one around. Cheng Yu, who was very excited at this time, took the opportunity to say to Cao Cao, "My lord, I am very happy. This is really a gift from heaven. In this way, I can get ten days of food for an army of 200,000 people." !”
"Haha, Zhongde is right. I have entrusted all this to you. Remember to keep it secret and don't let the news leak!" Cheng Yu got strong approval from Cao Cao as soon as he spoke, which made him angry. He laughed heartily. Then don’t forget to remind him to keep it secret, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!
"Thank you, lord. Please rest assured, lord, Yu understands!" Seeing that his lord agreed, Cheng Yu thanked Cao Cao very excitedly!
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
After saying this, the two couldn't help but burst out laughing, which puzzled Xu Chu who was guarding the side. He didn't understand what riddle the lord and the military advisor were playing. I really don’t understand it, and I don’t need to understand it!
Xun You, who had been silent all this time, knew Cheng Yu's plan clearly, which was to use these corpses to make human meat and dry food to continue to supply the army!
Although it is a bit hard to accept, these are troubled times, and the food and grass for the army are not very abundant to begin with. This can perfectly solve the problem of food and fodder for the army and allow the lord to preserve more strength. Why not do it!
In this way, Xun You had no reason to refuse. Taking advantage of Cao Cao and Cheng Yu's triumphant energy, Xun You reported to his lord what he had just thought of and said, "Please tell me, my lord, that the enemy sent the bodies of the generals with such great fanfare. The lord must be on guard against using tricks!"
"Oh, why did Gongda say this? Please help me clarify my doubts!" After hearing what Xun You said, Cao Cao was very confused and said!
"My Lord, the enemy took such pains to return the corpses of the army, presumably because they hope to use them to shake the morale of our army, and secondly, to let the corpses rot, cause plague, and cause our army to collapse without attack!", Hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Xun You said with astonishment and certainty, "There are corpses everywhere here. It must be Guo Jia's poisonous plan. The lord has to guard against it!" Updated fastest Qiqi /
"Ah, how should we resist this? Sir, please give me some advice!" Upon hearing what Xun You said, Cao Cao also reacted and eagerly asked Xun You for advice!
Seeing that their lord was very anxious, Xun You and Cheng Yu looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and then advised Cao Cao in unison: "This is a conspiracy, and there is no way to solve it. For this plan, please return to the army as soon as possible." Yanzhou, this is the best policy!"
"There is no other way. Thank you gentlemen for your advice. I understand!" Seeing that the two counselors under his command agreed to retreat, Cao Cao thought for a moment and agreed, thanking them!
Then he turned his head and ordered to Xu Chu, "Zhongkang, go and pass on Gu's order immediately. After the soldiers collect the bodies, they are not allowed to stay and leave to collect the troops and return to Yanzhou!"
"It's my lord, I will take the order!" After hearing Cao Cao's order, Xu Chu did not dare to neglect, he agreed, and went down to deliver the order!
So, under Cao Cao's order, the remaining 60,000 remnants, just like the support troops brought by Cao Chun, joined forces and retreated towards Yanzhou!
After learning that Cao Cao had finally returned to Yanzhou, Xun Yu left a small number of soldiers and horses to garrison the north bank of the Yellow River, and then returned to Yecheng with the expedition army and the surrendered soldiers of Cao's army. I have gone to report to Yuan Shao on the battle situation in Guandu and the settlement of the suffering people in Hebei!
In this way, the battle at Guandu between the Hebei troops led by Cao Cao and Xun Yu came to an end with the victory of Yuan's army and the disastrous defeat of Cao's army. This is an end, but also a new beginning!
