It didn't take long for Huang Zhong to send someone again and come back to tell Zhao Feng the specific news of the battle in Dongguan.

Among them, in this battle, their own side killed more than 2,000 soldiers, killed more than 800 Cao soldiers, and did not take prisoners.

The ratio of casualties is 1:2.00, which is considered a normal range in siege warfare.

After all, Huang Zhong's attack on the city this time was a strong attack, and the losses would have been slightly larger, not to mention that these soldiers, all of whom were recruits, would have added some additional casualties.

If it weren't for the presence of super-first-class generals like Huang Zhong, maybe more would have been killed in battle.

In addition, a number of horses, baggage, armor, and weapons were seized, and more than 5,000 stones of grain were seized.

After all, Dongguan City is small, and it is not too far from Qingzhou, so naturally there will not be too many worries about hoarding.

Judging from the seized materials alone, they are all the usual expenses of the more than 800 guards.

Five thousand stone of grain is enough for more than 800 soldiers to eat for three months.

After the repatriation of Huang Zhong's heralds.

Zhao Feng sighed: "There are only five thousand stone grains. ”

"It's only enough for our army of more than 70,000 to eat for a day and a half."

"Fortunately, this day and a half is more, even if the grain team of Zhuxu County Order has a little accident, we can deal with it ourselves."

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord, in order to ensure the safety of the grain team." ”

"Why don't you let me lead the leopard battalion and go to pick up and escort one or two?"

Zhao Feng's personal guard cavalry has been restored to the establishment of 2,500 people.

These newly replenished guards cavalry were all recruited directly from the Cradle Academy.

After all, the cradle academy mainly teaches the six arts of gentlemen, that is, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, which were originally to train middle and grassroots generals.

The general name of the six arts is, five rites, six music, five shots, five royals, six books, and nine numbers.

Nothing else has changed, it's just Yu, it's changed a little.

The royal is the technique of driving a horse-drawn carriage.

Among the requirements are:

Ming and Luan: It is said that the sound of Luan corresponds to the driving time.

Water Chaser: Ride along the curved shore without falling into the water.

Passing through the monarch's table: There is etiquette after passing through the table of the Son of Heaven.

Dance: Ride through the passage and drive freely.

Chase the bird to the left: Chase the animal while hunting and shoot it from the left.

You don't need to learn it all now, but you can add a ride!

Therefore, the personal guard cavalry recruited from the Cradle Academy did not need much training to form an army.

Of course, it's just a normal army, and the combat effectiveness is no different from that of a recruit.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "It's okay, then you can lead the leopard battalion and go to pick up the food team." ”

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "No! ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

Early the next morning.

Xiong Da returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”

"The food team has been escorted into the barracks."

"In addition, Zhu Xu's county order wants to meet the lord!"

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Although the grain team is a little late, it will arrive this morning." ”

"Go and let the Zhuxu County Order come in!"

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "No! ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

A moment later, Xiong Da and Zhu Xuxian walked into the Chinese army's tent together.

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng, and then returned to his position to stand.

Zhu Xuxian ordered Zhao Feng to bow down: "Meet the lord!" ”

Zhao Feng raised his hand in the air: "Zhu Xuling doesn't need to be polite, get up!" ”

Zhu Xuxian Ling kowtowed to Zhao Feng again: "No! ”

After speaking, he got up and stood up: "A total of 37,000 stones of grain were collected this time. ”

"Just in line with the lord's orders, raise food for the ten-day army!"

Zhao Feng nodded: "Very good!" ”

"You have a credit for this."

Zhu Xuxian gave Zhao Feng a long look: "Thank you, lord!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

After all, it was only a county order, and the official position was too small, so he could take the opportunity to get acquainted with Zhao Feng, and he accidentally got military merits, so he left satisfied.

Then.

A sentry rode into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”

"Cao Cao sent a reply!"

After speaking, he put the bamboo slip in his hand and presented it with both hands.

Xiong Da walked to the sentry horse, took the bamboo slip, turned around and handed it to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng opened the bamboo slip and carefully examined it.

To the effect that Zhao Feng's letter was delivered late.

Lu Bu had been killed by Cao Cao five days ago in front of the whole army, and finally showed Lu Bu's head to the public.

In addition, Chen Gong thanked Lu Bu for his kindness and died generously, and Cao Cao said that he had fulfilled Chen Gong.

As for Diao Chan, he was martyred for Lu Bu, and now he is dead.

In addition to these people, Cao Cao is willing to hand over all the Mao Jia, Lu Ji and others that Zhao Feng asked for, and Cao Cao is willing to hand them all over to Zhao Feng to deal with.

And he is already on his way back to Qingzhou.

After Zhao Feng finished reading it, he pondered for a long time.

Lu Bu will be beheaded, which is not too unexpected for Zhao Feng, after all, Lu Bu's ability to lead troops in combat is definitely one of the best.

Otherwise, he would not have almost killed Cao Cao when attacking Yanzhou, and he would not have repeatedly resisted Cao Cao's attacks.

Unless Cao Cao's brain is in water, he will hand over Lu Bu to Zhao Feng.

As for Chen Gong, Zhao Feng also had a few judgments, but more, it is estimated that Cao Cao didn't want Chen Gong to help Zhao Feng, so he said that for the sake of Lu Bu, he died generously.

And Diao Chan was martyred, I don't know if it was a real martyrdom, or Cao Cao wanted the overlord to make a bow, but he forced Diao Chan to death, and finally gave Diao Chan a martyrdom title.

Fortunately, Cao Cao was still willing to return Mao Jia, Lu Ji and others, and the others that Zhao Feng demanded.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng secretly exclaimed: "Not good! ”

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Feng roughly said Cao Cao's reply: "When Cao Cao replied, he should only know that we had entered the Xuzhou territory, but he didn't know that we had captured Dongguan!" ”

"Therefore, before the two armies were fighting, Cao Cao was willing to send back those ordinary generals and the remnants."

"We took Dongguan yesterday, but I'm afraid that before nightfall today, Cao Cao will inevitably receive the news that Dongguan has been captured."

"This move undoubtedly shows our current attitude!"

"In order to strike first and reduce those remnants to join us, Cao Cao will inevitably send a large army to pursue!"

Although Zhao Feng sent a five-way army to attack Cao Cao's five counties.

But because for the first time, not long after Cao Cao returned to help, Zhao Feng's side chose to withdraw because he was worried that Cao Cao would send more than 40,000 troops from Yongzhou to raid Hedong County.

And this move gave Cao Cao the feeling that he was encircling Wei to save 'Qi'!

So although Zhao Feng was concurrent in five ways this time, Cao Cao still thought that Zhao Feng was encircling Wei to save 'Qi'.

This is also one of the main reasons why Cao Cao did not choose to withdraw his troops and wanted to destroy Lu Bu in one go.

In addition, Zhao Feng personally led an army of more than 70,000 people to Xuzhou, also to rescue Lu Bu, which was more like a failure to save 'Qi' in Wei and turned to save people.

Now that Lu Bu has been destroyed, if Zhao Feng really wants to surround Wei to save 'Qi', now that there is no rescue target, Zhao Feng should naturally withdraw his troops.

Unless Zhao Feng wants to start an all-out war!
