Those present were divided into civil and military, and Jiang Wan was responsible for handling hundreds of thousands of people, baggage, and grain. Pang Tong was responsible for the incorporation of Cao Ren's strong army in a hundred battles.

And who the captives are under management, Liu Feng really doesn't know.

After his gaze swept from the crowd, Liu Feng waited for Cao Ren's automatic reply.

Jiang Wan and Pang Tong glanced at each other, they both smiled, and finally Jiang Wan came out of the ranks, raised his fist and said, "My lord, please." ”

It appears that the captives were under the management of civil officials. Liu Feng smiled slightly, and first said to Pang Tong: "The affairs of the city will be handed over to Shiyuan for the time being." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Fengcai said to Jiang Wan: "Let's go, go and see this General Cao." ”

"No." The two agreed in unison, and Jiang Wan turned over and took Liu Feng to see Cao Ren.

Although Cao Ren was a prisoner, Jiang Wan and others still gave him a very high standard of treatment.

Together with his subordinate Niu Jin, he was placed under house arrest in a large mansion in the city of Liu.

In addition to the heavily defended house, there are many ordinary maids.

When Liu Feng saw Cao Ren, he was very surprised. It was not that I was surprised by Cao Ren's appearance, but that I was surprised by Cao Ren's state.

In the study, Liu Feng sat on the main seat, and Kou Shui stood behind Liu Feng with a powerful version of the Chu knife.

And the one opposite Liu Feng is Cao Ren.

Liu Feng's gaze swept over Cao Ren's face, and the expression on his face became more and more surprised.

This Cao Ren didn't see that he was defeated and captured at all, but his face was gentle and his eyes were calm. It's very adaptable to the current environment.

Of course, Liu Feng didn't know that the current Cao Ren was a little fatter than Cao Ren in Wancheng.

At the same time that Liu Feng was looking at Cao Ren, Cao Ren was also looking at Liu Feng, and when he saw that Liu Feng was really as young as rumored, he was secretly shocked.

I saw that Liu Feng did not have any superficiality at all, but was full of momentum.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, I was also deceived when I was full of pets.

However, Cao Ren thought to himself that even if he didn't despise Liu Feng, his victory rate in this war was very low. Because the Fire Bull Formation is too unexpected.

As for the reason why Cao Ren was able to come and be at ease. It was because after thinking about it, Cao Ren felt that this battle was not a battle, and he was somewhat relieved in his heart.

In addition, Cao Ren felt that he would soon be rescued by Cao Ying, and the burden of thought was not so heavy. Naturally, if it comes, it will be safe.

"These days, General Cao seems to be doing well." After being surprised, Liu Feng said with a smile.

"Thanks to the general, I eat well and live well." In his heart, Cao Ren replied.

Liu Feng was even more surprised in his heart, and began to observe Cao Ren more carefully, especially Cao Ren's eyes, only to see that his eyes were neutral and very peaceful.

If you look closely, there is a strong sense of confidence. He seemed confident that he would be able to go back.

Liu Feng soon had such an answer in his heart.

I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, others didn't know how powerful Cao Ren was, but Liu Feng knew. He is an almost invincible general in the world, the first general of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan.

Especially if this kind of person can't be surrendered yet.

Even if it is a surrender, it is mostly a fraud drop.

I can't see anything in my hand now, but as soon as I put Cao Ren back, I can find out what he does.

Cao Ren can lead the military power of a state against a country. The so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, let alone Cao Ren's general. If such a general is put back, it will be tantamount to increasing the enemy's strength.

Why bother? However, if the price of redemption is more than Liu Feng's psychological expectations.

For example, with a population of 500,000, Liu Feng would reluctantly agree to let Cao Ren go back. But it's obviously impossible, and Cao Ying is not an idiot.

Decrease your own power and increase the power of your enemies.

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Cao Ren may have to spend the rest of his life in Jiangxia.

Then, Liu Feng thought of Cao Ren's greater role. When he was in Wancheng, Liu Feng once planned to swallow all Jingchu.

The most important of these is to avoid Cao Ying, and let Sun Quan and Liu Bei be in front.

It's a bit more difficult to do because it's geographically located. According to what Liu Feng knew, the Battle of Chibi took place in Jiangxia.

There is no escape, there is no escape. But with Cao Ren, it's different. If Cao Ying led his troops south, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao surrendered.

Cao Ying took advantage of the eastward crusade to attack Jiangxia, so he hung Cao Ren at the head of Xiakou City.

Seeing that Cao Ying dared to give the order to attack the city.

This is a hostage in his hand, the most suitable hostage. On the identity of the general, the Cao family is a heavy general. In terms of clan, Cao Ren is Cao Ying's younger brother, and the two have the same great-grandfather.

It's the most suitable hostage. Moreover, Cao Ren's own value is more than that, he lives here, and it always costs money to eat, right?

When Cao Ying's envoy arrives one day, he will go to settle the score. Magnify ten times, count a hundred times.

The squeeze of Cao Ren in his heart is getting deeper and deeper. Liu Feng's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Seeing that Cao Ren was puzzled, he didn't know what Liu Feng was thinking.

"In that case, then the general should live for a living." In the end, Liu Feng smiled slightly and raised his fist.

"I'm tired of the general." Cao Ren also raised his fist slightly and said.

The appearance of the two, outsiders can't see any tension at all. There is no atmosphere at all that the two of them should have now.

Soon, Liu Feng got up and said goodbye.

Cao Ren didn't make a gesture, and got up to send Liu Feng.

Cao Ren was so important that even Jiang Wan found a small official to be responsible for Cao Ren's diet and daily life, as well as regular defense to prevent Cao Ren from escaping.

After Liu Feng left the study, he immediately found the little official.

The little official is in his thirties, looks ordinary, and has nothing outstanding at all.

"Make more food and send more beauties. You must serve General Cao well. It is said that it is often spent, and it is applied directly to the master book. Liu Feng commanded.

"No." The little official responded.

It's just that a little doubt flashed in his eyes, obviously doubting Liu Feng's attitude towards the captives.

Although Liu Feng saw it, he would not break it with a small official. nodded, and took Kou Shui out of the mansion.

Sitting on the dark cloud horse outside the mansion, Liu Feng quickly returned to the Taishou Mansion.

Taishoufu is no different from a few months ago, but the situation has long since changed. Defeating Cao Ren is not only a threat.

I also got an unknown number of benefits.

After stopping outside the gate of the Taishou Mansion for a moment, Liu Feng got up and walked in.

After entering the house, Liu Feng went straight into the study.

In the study, Pang Tong and Jiang Wan were listed early. After Liu Feng walked in, the two raised their fists together and said, "Lord." ”

"There is no need for superfluous etiquette, let's talk about how much benefit we get." Liu Feng waved his hand to signal that the two of them did not need to be polite, and then took a few steps forward and knelt on the main seat, looking at the two of them expectantly.

How much benefit this battle has, Liu Feng has not calculated. But everything that was obtained now had already arrived in Ryujo.

Both of these should have figured it out.

"Huh." Jiang Wan and Pang Tong glanced at each other, and they both smiled. Immediately, Jiang Wan said to Pang Tong: "In this battle, the population, food, and baggage gained are innumerable. It's too complicated, let's talk about it first. ”

"Hmm." Pang Tong nodded in response, then thought about it for a while, raised his head and said to Liu Feng: "The lord has collected 700 wounded soldiers from Liu Bei in Wancheng, 500 Cao troops from Hong Kang, and the rest of Deng Ai has successively surrendered 7,000 Cao army defeated soldiers, and on the other hand, he has also surrendered more than 8,900 Cao army scattered soldiers. More than 19,400 people in total. ”

"So much?" Liu Feng was taken aback and said.

Although he was already prepared in his heart, this number was far beyond Liu Feng's imagination.

"Although the fire ox is powerful, it is only destructive, not lethal. That night, too many of Cao's soldiers were scattered, and only a few thousand people actually died under the Fire Bull Array. Pang Tong explained with a smile.

Liu Feng was immediately relieved when he heard this.

That's the benefit of bombing the camp. Defeated the enemy army, and was able to collect many of the enemy's horses.

Soon, Liu Feng abandoned this entanglement. I'm starting to think about the people now.

The population under his rule, thanks to the addition of Changsha, was 400,000, but the army was only 20,000. It's just less.

Five thousand of them were under Huang Zhong's tent and stationed in Chaisang to defend Jiangdong.

Six thousand of them were naval troops, under the rule of Gan Ning, stationed in Xiakou.

There are also 4,000 people such as Pang Tong, Deng Ai, and Chen Da. The 5,000 guards under the rule of Huo Jun in Changsha totaled 20,000 people, 20 to 1. That's a little low.

Now with him, he has almost embezzled all of Cao Ren's soldiers and horses, and it has increased by nearly 20,000 at once. This is a pawn, as long as it is absorbed, it can almost be an elite soldier who can conduct war. Moreover, there is no need to transfer civilian labor to reduce pawns, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.

40,000 troops.

If nothing else, the numbers are there. Unconsciously and unconsciously Liu Feng has a lot of confidence, a lot.

Even if Cao Ying came with tens of thousands of generals, even if there was no Fire Bull Array, Liu Feng was confident that he would be able to resist.

"These nearly 20,000 troops, of which more than 9,000 people, sent them to Jiujiang and let Huang Zhong manage them, and the rest were included in Shiyuan, under the command of Deng Ai, to expand our Jiangxia headquarters army to 14,000 people." Liu Feng thought about it for a while and decided to divide it.

The division was considered, although Changsha borders Jiangdong, but it is enough to garrison. There is no need for additional troops. And Jiujiang is different, Huang Zhong's ability is to defend and attack.

If Jiangdong had any bad intentions, as long as there were enough troops, Huang Zhong would be able to attack the hinterland of Jiangdong.

On the other hand, Jiangxia headquarters cannot be less.

Originally, Liu Feng wanted to expand the number of water troops, but after thinking about it, forget it. Most of Cao Ren's troops were from the Central Plains, brave and good at fighting, but they did not know how to fight in water. It's too wasteful to be a trolls.

"No." Pang Tong responded.

He didn't have any opinion on Liu Feng's order, and now there were so many Jiangxia headquarters under Liu Feng's rule, as well as a few other departments.

The surrendered army, of course, should immediately increase the number of men and horses in the headquarters and other departments.

If Liu Feng put Cao Ren's elite of a hundred battles into the people, expand the labor force. Pang Tong will have an opinion.

The affairs of the army have already surprised Liu Feng, the number of people has been fully doubled, and the soldiers are all elite in a hundred battles, and their combat ability is incomparable.

To be honest, if it is digested, the combat effectiveness of Jiangxia's army should have directly increased several times.

What kind of surprise can the population and food give Liu Feng?

Liu Feng turned his head to Jiang Wan, his eyes looking forward to it.

How much exactly?
