Chapter 380 Battlefield Ruins(2/2)
When Cao Cao saw this, his heart was filled with joy.
Seeing that the generals were working hard, he felt more and more that he would definitely achieve something in this attack on Wu.
Then, he waved his hand and signaled: "Generals, please excuse yourself immediately."
After some greetings, he slowly disembarked from the boat surrounded by the generals, and then headed into the city.
When he reached the city gate, Cao Cao, who was wearing a brocade robe, suddenly became more interested, with bursts of smiles on his face, and he said to the generals beside him:
"Wen Yuan, I heard that last year Sun Quan mobilized his strength from Jiangdong and gathered more than ten thousand people to invade Hefei."
"But you led more than a few hundred knights to kill them, throwing away their helmets and armor, and fled in defeat, right?"
When he said this, Cao Cao's footsteps stopped instantly.
Seeing this, the surrounding generals also agreed to stop.
Hearing this, Zhang Liao's expression showed humility at this moment, and he handed over his hands to share the merits and said: "The Prime Minister's words are serious. In fact, this battle was not the result of the last general."
After saying this, he then waved his hand and pointed to the other two generals on one side, and said with an affirmative look on his face: "If it weren't for Youle, the two generals Li will help."
"The general's strength alone and his unique skills cannot resist Sun's attack."
Having said that, Le Jin and Li Dian saw that Zhang Liao did not take all the credit, but instead gave it to them.
Both of them looked slightly guilty for a moment.
I always feel like I owe something.
Think back to the time when Sun Quan raised more than 100,000 people to attack.
Zhang Liao asked the two of them to come together to discuss matters and discuss strategies to defend against the enemy.
At that time, Zhang Liao decided to select elite infantry and cavalry to fight out of the city first to give Wu Jun a powerful impression.
The two of them still disagreed and advocated holding on to the city.
If it weren't for the guard Xue Ti taking out the brocade bag that Cao Cao left before leaving.
I'm afraid there won't be 800 men who can frighten the Wu army.
Now the two of them think about it.
More than 100,000 Wu troops gathered at the gate of Hefei City and attacked continuously for more than ten days. However, our own side was able to defend resolutely without wavering in the slightest.
This is closely related to Zhang Liao's move of leading 800 elite men out of the city to harass and undermine the morale of the Wu army.
Later, the Wu army retreated, and Zhang Liao fought against the crowd and ordered the entire army to fight out. Only then did he achieve a great victory and severely damaged the enemy's army in one battle.
Thinking back on what happened during this battle.
After this battle, the discord between several people also improved.
Both Li Dian and Le Jin admire him deeply!
Now seeing Zhang Liao sharing the work for them, the two of them felt moved in their hearts.
Immediately, Li Dian, who has always been relatively easy-going, looked at Le Jin who was standing next to him. After that, he stood up first and said:
"Prime Minister, we defeated the Wu army last year, which made Sun Quan dare not to interfere in the battle here in Hefei. The main hero thought that General Zhang was the only one to do it."
As soon as these words were finished, without waiting for Zhang Liao to continue speaking, Li Dian and Yue Jin respectively recounted the events of last year's battle truthfully.
When Cao Cao heard this, his face was filled with joy.
He then pondered for a while and then said in a deep voice: "All the generals have made great achievements in this battle. Without your concerted efforts to fight against the Wu army, Hefei may be in danger!"
"However, General Wenyuan was extremely courageous. Even when facing more than 100,000 people from Jiangdong, he was still very courageous and almost led more than 800 people to capture Sun Quan's traitor alive."
"The truth is, Zhang Liao has listened to the order and promoted you to the general of the Eastern Conquest. I hope that you will continue to fight bravely against the enemy and defend the border for the country in the future."
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness. I will never let you down in the end."
One word.
Zhang Liao suddenly looked overjoyed and excitedly raised his hands to thank him.
When Li Dian saw this, he showed no signs of envy or jealousy. Instead, he congratulated him in unison.
As for Le, Li and Li also received awards.
After Cao Cao thought carefully about it, he also granted more than a hundred households to each of them.
In an instant.
There was joy all around the city gate.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao became more and more interested and said directly: "I heard that Xiaoyaojin on the other side is the battlefield site where the generals defeated the Wu army last year?"
"I wonder which general is willing to observe with me the ruins of the battle between our army's athletes and the traitors?"
This statement fell out.
Le Jinlian, who was standing by, held his hands in front of him and started admonishing him.
"Prime Minister, Xiaoyaojin is located on the south bank. Soldiers of the Wu army often appear and appear. For the sake of safety, I thought it would be better not to take risks."
As soon as this statement came out, Xu Chu, the personal guard on one side, also echoed.
He protected Cao Cao for more than ten years, and the most important thing he valued was his safety.
Now that he heard that there were many dangers on the south coast, he naturally opposed his prime minister's idea of leaving.
only.
Seeing the generals' objections, Cao Cao's hazy eyes seemed to have a cold gaze, and his face became gloomy.
Zhang Liao, who was on one side, was observing the situation, noticed this scene, and even cupped his hands and said: "You don't have to worry!"
"Last year, Liao led most of his troops to defeat the Wu army at Xiaoyaojin on the south bank."
"Let Prime Minister Liao protect you and observe the battlefield ruins."
