& Gong Yingming. ”

Cao Cao and Guo Jiana looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled, which made Cao Ren and other generals on the side feel cold all over their bodies, and secretly mourned for Bai Rao, the defender of Puyang City.

Now that he and Guo Jia had already made up their minds, Cao Cao thought of another thing that he had almost forgotten about at this time, and turned to Cao Ren and said, "Zixiao, how many of those lightly injured soldiers will be able to return and go to the battlefield again?" ”

The strength of an army, in addition to the ordinary training and the grinding of life and death on the battlefield, is more important to look at the number of veterans of that army, so to speak, an army composed of all veterans, can definitely defeat twice the number of soldiers, but all of them are composed of new soldiers.

From a certain point of view, veterans who have survived the battlefield of life and death are a cherished resource, although it seems a little cold-blooded and cruel to say so, but in such troubled times, cold-blooded and cruel are the main theme.

As for those seriously injured soldiers, only 12 out of 10 may survive, but it is difficult to say whether they can return to the battlefield in the end. Cao Ren thought about it, and said to Cao Cao with his fists clenched.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the soldiers who were seriously wounded on the battlefield were actually not much different from those on the verge of death, so in the end, 12 out of 12 seriously injured soldiers could survive, and Cao Cao was still very satisfied.

Cao Cao, who was sitting on the main seat, thought about it, then looked up at Cao Ren and said: "Even so, I still have to give orders to go down and let the doctors do their best to treat them, as for those soldiers who died in battle, as in the past, if there is a family member, then give some acres of land and money and grain, if there are no descendants, then choose one of those orphans and give them a surname, so that they can pass on the ancestry." ”

The reason why the soldiers under Cao Cao's command can not be afraid of death, in addition to the military salary they can receive and the credit they get from killing the enemy, Cao Cao's measures to solve his death in battle are the most important, since there is a family after the death of the war, the family can be properly settled, and there are no family members, there are also people who inherit their surname, since this is the case, why not fight, anyway, it is just a bad life, this idea is all the thoughts of the Cao soldiers who were solved by Cao Cao after death.

Because of this, there are the Tiance soldiers who are not afraid of death and look at death as if they were at home, and the powerful attack power that shocked the Yellow Turban Army of the entire Puyang City.

It can be said that Cao Cao's strategy has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, so after hearing Cao Cao's words, Cao Ren directly hugged his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

After Cao Ren went down to carry out Cao Cao's orders, Cao Cao also waved away the rest of the civil and military forces in the Chinese army's big tent, and after everyone retreated, Cao Cao's eyes were slightly closed, flickering.

At night, the bright moon is high, the stars are dotted, and the air seems to be filled with the smell of blood left by the great battle during the day, and within the scope of this bloody smell, whether it is Puyang City or Cao Jun's camp, they all fell into a strange calm.

In the camp of the Cao army, it was lit, and the bonfire that lit the barracks made a crackling sound from time to time, even if it was already time, but there were still a team of Tiance Cao soldiers armed with spears and ring-headed knives, patrolling back and forth in the barracks.

Cao Cao, who was sitting high in the first place, looked down, knelt down and bowed to the ground, and the yellow turban soldiers with a yellow scarf tied to their heads flashed in their eyes and asked: "You say, are you willing to open the south gate of Puyang City in three days to welcome my army into the city?" ”

As Guo Jia expected by Dayi, when the night was approaching, there was indeed a Yellow Turban soldier who sneaked from Puyang City, saying that he wanted to surrender to Cao's army, and opened the southern gate of Puyang City three days later to welcome Cao's army into the city.

As long as Cao Gong is willing, then my general will open the city gate three days later at this moment to welcome the army under Cao Gong into the city. The Yellow Turban soldier looked at Cao Cao above and said.

The general in the mouth of the Yellow Turban soldiers, of course, can't be a real general, maybe just a school captain, but in the world at this time, the world is in turmoil, and etiquette is broken, a school captain calls himself a general, compared to other people who occupy the mountain as the king, he calls himself a king, what an emperor, which is not bad.

Therefore, when Cao Cao heard the Yellow Turban soldier call the captain a general, he didn't react much, but asked another thing: "Even so, how can I believe that you really want to surrender and not have another purpose?" ”

Hearing Cao Cao's words and the killing intent hidden in those words, the Yellow Turban soldier, cold sweat on his forehead suddenly came out, and he kowtowed busily and said: "Cao Gong, the little one and my general, how dare you deceive Cao Gong, the reason why my general wants to surrender to Cao Gong is entirely because of Bai Rao, Bai Rao, this horseman, does not know the power of the army under Cao Gong, so he arrogantly resists and embarks on the road to death. ”

&Hey, I didn't expect that there would be a person like your general among the Yellow Turbans, who understands righteousness so well, well, very well. ”

Cao Cao got up with a smile on his face, stepped down from the main seat, came to the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still kneeling on the ground, helped him up and said with a smile: "Go back and tell your general, I hope that he will not forget today's covenant when he arrives, and after our army enters the city, we will grant the identity of civilians to those Yellow Turban soldiers who are unwilling to continue to serve as soldiers, and give them acres of land so that they can live. ”

& Gong Da En, the little one must inform my general of Cao Gong's words! ”

After receiving Cao Cao's promise, the Yellow Turban soldier was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Cao Cao with a fist, and then left immediately, after the Yellow Turban soldier left, Cao Cao looked at the direction he left for a moment, and suddenly said loudly: "Dian Wei." ”

& Will be in! ”

Cao Cao looked back at the burly Dian Wei, and said loudly: "Let the Jinyi Guards of Dongjun enter Puyang City at night, contact the big families among them, and tell them to keep an eye on those Yellow Turban soldiers for me, if they really have bad intentions, they must pass on their news!" ”

& Command! ”

After Dian Wei clenched his fists and shouted, he went down to convey Cao Cao's order, if what happened at this time was seen by the Yellow Turban soldiers who left, I don't know whether he was secretly happy or afraid.
