Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Dong Zhuo's 10,000+ army was the first to collide with Cao Shuo's cavalry.

His generals Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Su, Li Fang, and Lu Bu's subordinates Wei Xu, Cao Xing, and Hou Cheng led fifty to sixty thousand cavalry and began to attack Cao Shuo's formation.

Seeing Cao Shuo rushing forward alone, Wei Xu yelled, "The enemy will take his life!"

The spear in his hand stabbed Cao Shuo directly.

"when!"

The two weapons intersected, Wei Xu only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and the spear fell directly to the ground.

Cao Shuo was about to take Wei Xu's life, but Lu Wen suddenly stopped him and said, "My lord, don't hurt Uncle Wei's life, take him back to the camp and I will persuade you to surrender."

"..."

Wei Xu looked horrified. He never expected to meet Lu Wen on the battlefield, and it was an enemy army!

"Uncle Wei, Dong Zhuo is not righteous, and Lv Bu is helping the evildoers, are you going to follow them all the way to hell?"

"But Marquis Wen is not mean to me!"

"I saved your life just now!"

"What about... my family?"

"Uncle Wei, don't worry, I'll find a way to get my aunt and Sister Wei Lu out of Luoyang City."

Cao Shuo was stunned, and Lu Wen actually instigated Wei Xu, one of Lu Bu's eight masters, to turn against him with a few words.

Hearing this tone, it seems that Wei Xu's younger sister hasn't married Lu Bu yet, which is really interesting.

Nearly 20 troops fought from noon until the evening before the two sides retreated.

"Ju Shou, what is our loss?"

"My lord, among our 340 cavalry, 300 people were killed, 500 were seriously injured, and more than [-] were slightly injured."

"hiss!"

Cao Shuo gasped, the loss was too great.

"You report the death toll to Yuan Shao, serious injuries are treated as death."

"promise!"

"Report, President Yuan invites my lord to come over!"

Cao Shuo took Dian Wei to the meeting hall, and when he saw the princes were there, he went straight to the seat of authority.

Gongsun Zan said: "Our northern princes have mostly cavalry. After this battle, three out of ten survived. It can be said that they suffered heavy losses. The leader must give us more compensation."

Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang agreed: "That's right, that's right, of my six thousand cavalry, there are now only 1000 left. The pension for these dead and wounded soldiers must be paid by the leader."

Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, said: "Although my cavalry has only 4000 people, this battle is very brave. They are all warriors who stand up to ten warriors. They retreated at the end of the battle. Now there are only 500 cavalry left. The leader should allocate troops to me as soon as possible." Horses will do."

Cao Shuo sat on the main seat without saying a word. He is not very interested in the battle losses of his own side. He wants to know the casualties on Dong Zhuo's side.

Yuan Shu said: "So many people have died, we can't afford so much money for a while, not to mention fighting the dead is inevitable."

Gongsun Zan asked, "Yuan Gonglu, you have the nerve to say that none of your [-] cavalry was damaged. What is your intention?"

Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling County, said angrily: "Yuan Gonglu, you took advantage of my alliance and sent troops to attack my Tangyi County. What do you mean? Do you want to take the opportunity to annex my territory?"

Liu Dai said angrily, "Gongsun Zan, you command the soldiers, why do you let my cavalry go to the front? What are your intentions!"

The entire hall lost control in an instant, and Yuan Shao stopped drinking several times, but it didn't work.

"Shut up for me!"

Cao Shuo yelled angrily, and everyone shut up in shock, for fear that Cao Shuo would be violent and cut them all down.

"Who can tell me how many troops Dong Zhuo lost?"

Everyone look at me, I look at you, no one really can answer this question for a while.

Cao Cao opened his mouth and said: "Our army has fought more than 4000 cavalry, and more than 7000 people have died. Dong Zhuo has fought a total of [-] cavalry. According to the statistics of the dead soldiers on the battlefield, nearly [-] cavalry died in battle."

Cao Shuo glanced at Cao Cao in surprise, he did not expect that there were still calm people among the princes, and the battle damage was counted in such a short period of time.

Cao Shuo asked, "Leader Yuan, when will your [-] cavalry come in handy?"

Yuan Shao argued: "You princes, don't get angry. In the next siege, we will give way to our pawns."

"Fuck, are you still planning to let the cavalry go up to attack the city?"

"When will the compensation be given?"

"When will the medicinal materials be given!"

Yuan Shao looked confused, medicinal materials?A little bandage is enough for minor injuries, and what medicinal materials are needed.

Cao Cao saw that none of the princes cared about Cao Shuo's casualties, so he asked with concern, "Zi Xiang, how are your casualties?"

Cao Shuo said with a gloomy face: "Six thousand died, three thousand were slightly injured, who made me the first!"

Yuan Shu said disdainfully: "You have also gained a lot of benefits, and you have almost collected half of the horses on the battlefield that can stand up."

"Why don't you go grab it? Can you blame me? These are my soldiers who risked their lives for it."

--

The author says:

Chapter 65 Empty Gloves White Wolf

He lost nearly [-] cavalry and robbed [-] horses. He lost the most and killed the most enemies. This credit should be his.

Cao Shuo continued: "I don't want compensation or anything else. If you have soldiers with minor injuries, as long as you are willing to serve under my account, I can give you a share of the family allowance for the deceased."

"Nima!"

The princes were shocked. The rich are different, and they openly bought and sold soldiers.

"How is it? Does anyone want to trade for me? If you don't treat for a long time and become seriously injured, I'm not interested."

Cao Shuo began to make up his own little calculations. Slightly injured soldiers showed that they had contributed their strength on the battlefield. Such experience is usually not bought. Now that there is a ready opportunity, he wished that the princes would send all the wounded soldiers.

He has plenty of medicinal materials, and he is not short of salary, but he lacks experienced soldiers.

Zhang Yang said: "I'll change it for you, but I don't want money, you can offset part of the food and grass I owe!"

"I think you are poor enough, so let's do it like this, 50 shi of food, one slightly injured soldier, and one slightly injured horse."

"I'll change!"

"I'll change!"

"I'll change!"

The eighteen princes, except Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, all came to Cao Shuo for a deal.

Cao Cao really admired Cao Shuo's wisdom, and he made sure that the princes didn't want to heal the wounded by himself, so he offered such a generous condition.

With this bet alone, Cao Shuo theoretically obtained 1000 to [-] cavalry. Of course, the princes did not have that many cavalry, but just like this, Cao Shuo obtained more than [-] cavalry from the princes.

This is simply an empty-handed white wolf, but it is a bit of a waste of medicine and money.

Yuan Shao tried to ask: "Caozhou Mu, I don't know how to buy medicinal materials from you?"

"I don't sell medicinal materials. If you have wounded soldiers and horses, you can trade with me."

"My grass!"

Yuan Shao was very depressed. This guy must have monopolized the medicinal materials on the market in advance.

"Exchange or not, I still have work to do. I just captured a general, and I'm still waiting for me to persuade him to surrender."

Yuan Shao asked with black lines all over his head: "Who is Cao Zhoumu arresting?"

"Lu Bu's subordinate Wei Xu!"

"Uh……"

Yuan Shao lost interest in an instant. He thought that Cao Shuo had captured Lu Bu, but it turned out to be Lu Bu's general.

When Cao Shuo returned to his camp in the city, more than 1 wounded soldiers and horses were already in place.

"Zilong, escort these soldiers to Yecheng, and Zhang Yan will send someone to treat them. I have sent the prescription to Yecheng."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo walked into his tent, Lu Wen and that Wei Xu were talking about something, seeing Cao Shuo coming in, Wei Xu bowed.

"Wei Xu has met the lord!"

"You're welcome in your spare time!"

Lu Wen pulled Cao Shuo and said, "Husband, Uncle Wei and my father are cousins. If Uncle Wei came to join us, I think my father would not embarrass Uncle's family."

"I think my father-in-law must be in trouble!"

Lu Wen asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because I was on the battlefield, when I saw Dong Zhuo's soldiers, I shouted, father-in-law, you go and kill Dong Zhuo, and I will be in charge of cleaning up the soldiers!"

Lu Wen and Wei Xu had blue veins popping out of their heads, this guy is too ruthless, what if Dong Zhuo suspects Lu Bu and arrests him?

"Husband, are you planning to force my father to betray Dong Zhuo?"

"It's better to leave. Dong Zhuo's life is not long. I'm afraid my father-in-law will be implicated."

"Where does your husband think it is better to go?"

"Bingzhou, it's next to Jizhou. If he goes to the Central Plains, the land of the Four Wars, with his father-in-law's character, he will definitely not fully follow the counselor's advice, and he will definitely suffer at that time."

"Thank you husband!"

Cao Shuo looked at Wei Xu and said, "Uncle Gongyu, go back and tell my father-in-law what I mean. If he can trust him, leave Luoyang as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"The last general vows to follow the lord to the death!"

"I asked you to go back to deliver the news, not to continue to work for Lu Bu!"

Lu Wen rolled her eyes, you are too calculating.

"The last general takes orders!"

After Wei Xu left, Lu Wen asked cautiously: "Husband, why did you let father go to Bingzhou? Wouldn't it be good to recruit him to Jizhou?"

"It's called making the best use of everything! He can't obey my arrangement in Jizhou? With his father-in-law's character, he might not follow suit. In Bingzhou, he can do whatever he wants. If I don't have enough manpower, it will be no problem to borrow a few generals from your natal family." Bar."

Lu Wen looked at Cao Shuo in amazement, and said in disbelief, "Husband, what you think is so beautiful!"

"I can't help it. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are too good. I really want to recruit them, but I'm afraid they won't."

"Anyway, Uncle Gao Shun is impossible."

"So borrowing talents is the most reliable."

"Husband, shall we continue to attack Hulao Pass?"

Cao Shuo hadn't thought about this issue yet, and Dong Zhuo had only lost [-] cavalry, which didn't hurt him at all.

If Lv Bu leaves and joins the state, it may really reduce Dong Zhuo's strength.

"I've fought hard with Lu Bu for so long, the old wounds have recurred, and new wounds have been added, so let's go back to Jizhou to recuperate."

"What? Husband, where are you hurt!"

Lu Wen excitedly checked Cao Shuo's body, but she didn't find any wounds on Cao Shuo's body after searching for a long time.

"Why are you excited? I'm just talking."

"Ah, you actually lied to me, making me excited for a long time!"

On February 190th, [-] AD, Cao Shuo asked Yuan Shao to resign and returned to Jizhou to recuperate. Yuan Shao agreed without hesitation.

If Cao Shuo wasn't there, he would be the real leader as the leader. It's really aggrieved to hang on to the title of leader all day long and act according to Cao Shuo's face.

"My lords, don't worry about it. Just remember to send me the food and grass to Jizhou. If you want to exchange it with other things, you can also. Send someone to Jizhou to discuss with me. I will definitely satisfy you."

Satisfied ass, you cannibalistic little bastard.

Cao Shuo left the allied army camp with all his subordinates and the resentment of the Eighteenth Route princes.

Cao Cao escorted him all the way to the bank of the Yellow River, where Zhang Yan's army could be seen waiting for Cao Shuo across the river.
