When he was about to go out, he was frightened back by Xiao Wen's look.
What do you expect this kid to say?
Seeing that this guy didn't say anything, Xiao Wen waved his hand, and the rest of the time became much easier.
The fires around Changshe County have been put out by Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and the soldiers.
After the fire was extinguished, at a glance, the ground was covered with scorched earth, with a layer of black ashes attached to the ground. On top of this layer of scorched earth, there were countless corpses.
At this moment, Huangfu Song stood at the top of the city, looking at this scene with a complicated expression on his face.
Although they won this battle, it was a tragic victory. The defenders suffered numerous casualties, and less than 10,000 regular defenders survived.
Among these 10,000 people, all were injured, but the severity of the injuries varied.
Fortunately, while Zhao Yun and Ma Chao rushed to the rescue with those elite cavalry, they also brought He Yi with them to treat the injuries of the soldiers in the imperial camp so that they could control their injuries.
As for the corpses of those killed in battle outside the city, Huangfu Song also arranged for the militia to bury them on the spot.
On a large battlefield, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people may be killed or injured!
These people must be dealt with, otherwise they are very likely to induce plague and cause widespread death.
so……
The battlefield must be handled well!
However, these are all matters that belong to Huangfu Song, and Zhao Yun and others can only help at most.
When Xiao Wen returned to Changshe County with the remaining people and the Yellow Turban prisoners, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun saw Xiao Wen and came up to them with smiles on their faces and ushered Xiao Wen and others in.
In this battle of Changshe, thanks to Xiao Wen's action, he set off the fire and gathered the fire attack, he was able to defeat the Yellow Turban soldiers in one fell swoop.
"Thanks to the general for this battle! When I return to the court, I will definitely ask the Emperor for credit for the general!" Huangfu Song said.
Zhu Jun on the side echoed.
In contrast, he was more eager to win than Huangfu Song.
After all, he was the court guard who clashed with the Yellow Turbans in the first wave, but was killed by the Yellow Turban army and lost his armor. He had to flee back to Changshe, relying on Huangfu Song's blessing to save his life.
After a defeat, how many people in the court wanted to take his life?
Although Zhu Jun didn't ask, he knew it very well.
If the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Rebellion hadn't suddenly broken out and the court had no one to send, I'm afraid his head would have been chopped off long ago!
Now, fortunately, he won this battle and defeated the Yellow Turban army. This can be regarded as equalizing his merits and demerits.
Maybe his official rank will be demoted, but at least his head will be saved.
In this case, it is lucky to be able to save one life.
As for the others?
But Zhu Jun didn’t even dare to think about it!
And the benefactor who saved him in front of him, in addition to being his benefactor, must also be a rising star in the court in the future!
How did Shen Que rise from a little-known person to a captain of Sili School?
Isn't it because the general was promoted and the emperor approved it?
And it is said that this boy was able to rise to the position because of the general's reasons.
In the eyes of these officials, the situation in the court was a struggle between the ten permanent servants and their relatives.
The so-called relatives are just relatives of today's emperor Liu Hong's concubine He.
The mother is more valuable than the son. Because He was pregnant with a son, the emperor took more care of him. As a result, his brother He Jin was also appointed as a general.
This position should be among the best in terms of the military system alone.
It is an existence that stands completely at the top of the pyramid.
The so-called court struggle is the struggle between the ten permanent servants and the foreign relatives' group.
They, the bureaucratic nobles, have become outsiders.
Of course, the above are just Zhu Jun’s own opinions.
At least, in Xiao Wen's eyes, the so-called Shi Changshi and the foreign relatives group are all chess pieces pushed out by the emperor.
These two chess pieces seem to have high status and authority, and they can win wind and rain in the court.
But what about actually?
This wind and rain is only limited to Sili and the emperor's feet!
Outside of Sili?
It seems that a large area is the territory of the emperor, but in fact it is secretly controlled by aristocratic families.
There is a complicated network of relationships that even the prominent officials in the court dare not ignore.
Therefore, Xiao Wen can roughly guess some of the emperor's layout.
That emperor was not just as weak and incompetent as he seemed.
Faced with Zhu Jun and Huangfusong's warm treatment, Xiao Wen naturally responded with a professional smile, exchanged pleasantries with each other for a while, and then left to do their own things.
Xiao Wen naturally went back to Changshe County to rest.
As for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, in the next few days, they need to expand their results and kill all the Yellow Turban rebels in the entire Yingchuan County in one go.
Although Xiao Wen knows that this thing is unlikely, and in the end it will probably be nothing.
But looking at the fighting spirit on the faces of the two people, Xiao Wen didn't feel like saying anything depressing, so he just reminded:
"General, the victory of this battle is not due to the merits of two or three people like us, but to the merits of the vast number of officers and warriors from all sides. General, please do not forget the merits of those heroes!"
"General, don't worry, we understand this in our hearts. We will never let our soldiers feel cold!" Huangfu Song said aloud.
When such a voice fell in Xiao Wen's ears, Xiao Wen nodded and let the two people leave.
Afterwards, Xiao Wen gathered his soldiers and returned to the city to rest.
When Xiao Wen led these soldiers back to the city, he happened to bump into Cao Mengde who was leading the troops out of the city.
Seeing Cao Mengde, Xiao Wen clearly felt that this guy looked at him differently.
With a hint of admiration.
This guy...
Has the favorability increased?
Is this uncle’s favorability task perfectly up to standard?
Xiao Wen raised his eyebrows, and then he thought about checking his system prompts, and then he saw the news that Cao Cao's exclusive favorability task was completed, which he had missed before.
"The general pays homage to the general. Is the general going out of the city to pursue him?" Xiao Wen's eyes fell on Cao Cao and asked aloud.
Cao Cao shook his head: "Let the generals above do the pursuit and earn military merit. Cao Cao looked at the militiamen collecting the corpses outside the city and was a little overwhelmed, so he thought about taking the brothers behind him to help."
As he said that, Cao Cao looked past Xiao Wen and landed on the thousands of fine cavalry behind him, and added:
"Will the general go with you?"
Xiao Wen shook his head and replied: "The soldiers under my command are all those who kill the enemy on horseback. They have just experienced several battles and need to rest for a while."
"General Cao and his colleagues are enough to clean up the battlefield!"
"General Cao, please excuse me. If nothing happens, I will take these brothers back to rest."
After saying that, without waiting for Cao Cao's reply, he led the people away, leaving only Cao Cao and others standing there, with the corners of their mouths twitching.
