Chapter 996 Talking about the victory
After Guo Tu's army was defeated, there were still seven or eight generals who led their troops and horses to escape. After these generals escaped, they might organize some soldiers to join Yuan Shao.
For this reason, after the Guo Tu camp was broken, there was still a pursuit battle.
This pursuit was not only about killing the soldiers of Guo Tu's army, but also gathering the surrendered soldiers. In normal times, the energetic Han soldiers would have pursued them for a day until dark.
But this time the Han army was really tired. After Liu Feng ordered the search for the coffins and found them and transported them back, the pursuit ended.[
Large numbers of surrendered soldiers, escorted by the Han army, gathered around Liu Feng. Generals Zhao Yun, Chen Ben, Zhang Fang and other generals also rode back on their horses and came to Liu Feng's side.
Zhang Fang was the first to come back, followed by Chen Ben and Zhao Yun. After they came back, they all got off their horses and saluted Liu Feng.
"General."
Zhao Yun saluted Liu Feng.
"No gift."
Liu Feng smiled slightly and helped Zhao Yun up.
"This Guo Tu?" Zhao Yun said in surprise after he saluted Liu Feng and saw the soldiers carrying Guo Tu's body into the coffin.
"I wanted to die, so I had no choice but to kill him myself and fulfill his wish." Liu Feng smiled and said after hearing this.
"The general did it himself. After today, Guo Tu will be famous all over the world." Zhao Yun sighed a little after hearing this. He would rather die than surrender, and Liu Feng did it himself, which is enough to be famous throughout the ages.
"A gentleman has the beauty of adulthood." Liu Feng said.
Because he also felt sorry for Guo Tu, Liu Feng did not want to say more on this topic, and then asked: "How about, how many Guo Tu soldiers did you chase this time?"
Zhao Yun, Chen Ben, and Zhang Fang looked at each other, and then whispered for a while. Finally, Zhao Yun said: "The general guessed that Guo Tu had 40,000 to 50,000 people, and maybe 7,000 to 8,000 people were killed on the spot, and there should be two prisoners.
Of the 30,000 people, no more than 15,000 will escape."
"With an exhausted army, we defeated them, pursued them, and captured 20,000 to 30,000 people. How heroic." Upon hearing this, Liu Feng said with a smile on his face, a touch of satisfaction on his face.
From Guo Tu at the top, to General Yuan Jun in the middle, and to the soldiers at the bottom, most of them were killed. The army of 100,000 had basically become an empty shell, and Liu Feng could not even dissatisfy it.
"Hurry up and report the news to Hulao Pass, and order Liu Ye and Jia Xu to draft a formal statement in person to report the good news to the emperor. Then, order the soldiers to eat dry food, replenish their physical strength, and return to Hulao."
Then, Liu Feng took a deep breath and said.
"promise."
Zhao Yun, Chen Ben, and Zhang Fang all agreed and went down one after another.
What followed was the rest of the soldiers and the simple treatment of the wounded. During this process, Liu Feng also ordered the soldiers to dig a large curtain for Guo Tu and dozens of others.[
Guo Tu and others were buried together.
Because things were rushed, in the end, only a high pile of earth was piled up. Not even a tombstone was erected. Liu Feng only offered a small amount of wine as a memorial.
"When I return to Luoyang, I will send someone to erect a monument to commemorate him. You will go well on your way."
In front of Fengtu, Liu Feng said something, raised the bronze wine glass in his hand, and poured the wine on the grave.
"General, the soldiers are ready and can return to the army's prison."
At this moment, Zhao Yun came to Liu Feng's side and saluted.
