Chapter 377
The Northern Expedition Army Brigade was divided into two parts when it was still a distance from the city gate. One part was escorting the prisoners to the camp outside the city, and the other part was Zhang Liao and his generals and personal soldiers, as well as thousands of wounded soldiers lying on the chariot. They went straight to the north gate of Weijun.
The Wei County Governor led more than a thousand troops to welcome Zhang Liao. After the ceremony, he led Zhang Liao and others back to Wei County.
When they entered Weijun City, they saw many people crowded on the streets, with curiosity and excitement on their faces. They really wanted to see what the generals of the Northern Expedition Army, who defeated Yuan Shao's 200,000 troops with only one hundred thousand troops, looked like.
The team was moving on the street, and Zhang Liao walked in front with a big sword in his hand. He was majestic and handsome. The short beard under his jaw further increased his masculine charm. The people were a little stunned, and the women's cheeks were a little red. The men thought in their hearts: General Zhang Liao is really worthy of his reputation! The women were thinking about the thoughts that made them all shy.
After returning to the Wei County Capital, Zhang Liao immediately summoned the generals and Wei County officials to discuss matters in the lobby.
"Although this battle is a great victory, our army has also paid a very heavy price!" At the beginning, Zhang Liao said with emotion. The generals' expressions that were originally happy immediately became serious, and Leyang's expression became even more serious. In this battle, the light cavalry of the First Legion under Leyang suffered the most losses. The casualties alone exceeded 12,000, seriously injured more than 2,000 people, and the rest of the soldiers were basically injured.
Zhang Liao glanced at Leyang and said, "In this battle, General Leyang's troops suffered the most heavy losses, and more than 12,000 people were killed and injured! More than 3,000 cavalry in the Tiger Roar Camp!" The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became a little heavy.
Then Zhang Liao glanced at the hall and changed his mind, "But our army basically wiped out the 200,000 troops of Yuan Shang's troops in this battle! Among them, 110,000 people were captured! The blood of the brothers did not flow in vain!" The generals' expressions suddenly became excited.
"Sir, Prefect!" Zhang Liao called out to a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar in the right head. The middle-aged man quickly made a comeback. The middle-aged man named Li, with a single name Yi Nuo. He was originally just an unknown poor man. He participated in the recruitment examination held by Chen Chu in Bingzhou a year ago. He was hired as an official by Chen Chu for excellent grades. He first served as a county magistrate in a county in Bingzhou for half a year. He was promoted to Wei County, Yanzhou for half a year ago. This strategy was to be the prefect. This prefect Li was loyal to Chen Chu because it was Chen Chu's enlightenment that changed his destiny and gave him a chance to show his talents. Similar situations were very common in the Northern Expedition Army.
"Our army has thousands of wounded soldiers, which requires a large amount of medicinal materials. Your main task now is to raise enough medicinal materials!"
Li Nuo immediately promised: "Don't worry, General! The officials will definitely not make the injured warriors lack the medicinal materials for treating the wounded!"
Zhang Liao nodded, "For specific matters, there will be a medical officer to communicate with you!" "Yes." Li Nuo retreated back to the queue.
"Chief of the Order!" Zhang Liao called out.
"General!" The messenger standing at the end of the left head turned out to agree.
"Immediately, Feige sent a letter to the lord for the situation here!" "Yes!"
Zhang Liao said at the end: "Although our army successfully annihilated the 200,000 troops of Yuan Shang's troops, you must not take it lightly!" "Yes!" Everyone agreed.
After distributing the tent, Zhang Liao ordered Deputy General Zeng Guangjia to send a scout to patrol and monitor Cao Cao's troops in the direction of Jizhou.
...
At night that day, Chen Chu, who was in Luoyang, received a letter from Zhang Liao. After reading the note, Chen Chu shouted excitedly. Standing beside Chen Chu and having been curious about his ears, Zhang Rui immediately asked, "What do I say in the letter?"
Chen Chu excitedly hugged Zhang Rui who was approaching and said, "Last night, Wen Yuan led 60,000 cavalry to wipe out 200,000 Yuan Shang's troops in a valley more than 20 miles north of Wei County, and captured 110,000 people, including two important figures, Yuan Shang and Cui Yan. This...
At first, these two people were being escorted to Luoyang."
Zhang Rui blinked her eyes, and her beautiful face turned red with excitement.
"My brother is the most powerful! Husband, do you think so?" Zhang Rui said excitedly. Chen Chu scraped Zhang Rui's nose and smiled: "Haha, that's right! Wen Yuan is indeed one of the top generals in my Northern Army!"
Chen Chu sat in the study and looked at the report copy placed on the desk. After reading for a moment, Chen Chu moved his neck, which was slightly sore, and just saw a look of frustration flashing in Sun Ren's eyes beside him. So he turned to look at Sun Ren and asked in confusion: "Xiangxiang, do you have anything to worry about?" Chen Chu's tone was full of care.
Sun Ren was shocked, panic flashed in his eyes, and then he glared at his eyes and said in a tough manner: "There is no need to explain everything about this girl!" If you dare to talk to Chen Chu, Sun Ren is definitely the first person besides Zhang Rui!
Chen Chu didn't care, smiled slightly, and said gently: "Xiangxiang, if you have anything to do, just tell your elder brother! Your elder brother will do his best to help you! Your elder brother doesn't want to be unhappy when you see you!"
The gentle words instantly crushed Sun Ren's hard shell disguised. Sun Ren didn't know why he wanted to cry, and he didn't know why he had the urge to pounce on the other person's arms at that moment. However, Sun Ren's appearance did not change much, and his eyes only became as gentle as water at that moment, but then he returned to his arrogant expression, with his chin raised high, like a proud peacock. "I'm fine! Brother, don't worry!" The tone seemed to have not changed much, but behind the proud tone, there was a clear sense of gentleness. This is the gentleness of a woman's nature.
Chen Chu is already a person who has experienced it, and Sun Ren's disguise has not deceived Chen Chu's eyes. Chen Chu smiled gently and said to Sun Ren in a gentler voice than before: "Xiangxiang, as long as you are fine, brother will be relieved!"
Sun Ren's heart pounded violently, his eyes felt a little blurred, as if something wanted to run out of his eyes. He suddenly turned his head so that Chen Chu could not see her eyes. This action was very arrogant and arrogant when it opened on the surface.
Chen Chu smiled, returned to the desk, and continued to read the official documents.
After a while, Sun Ren glanced at Chen Chu with the corner of his eyes, and saw Chen Chu reviewing the official documents with concentration, and breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at Chen Chu's back, his seductive red lips pursed, and his eyes contained complex feelings.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Yu came.
"Lord!" Zhou Yu bowed.
"No need to be polite! Official...
Jin, good news! Wen Yuan defeated Yuan Shang's troops in Wei County and wiped out 200,000 Yuan Shang's troops!" Chen Chu smiled excitedly. Then he picked up the letter from the flying pigeon sent by Zhang Liao on the case table and handed it to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu looked happy, took the short note and read it quickly, then clasped his fists and said, "In this way, Yuan Shao will only have a remnant army trapped in the Sishui Pass!"
Chen Chu nodded with a smile and asked, "Gongjin, do you think we will attack Sishui Pass or persuade us to surrender next."
Zhou Yu replied without hesitation: "Yu thought he could persuade him to surrender!" Chen Chu signaled Zhou Yu to continue talking.
