Huang Zhong led his men to charge, beheaded the soldiers who followed Lu Bu and resisted, and left the rest to Cao Jun.
Cao Cao's army entered the city.
Lu Xuan's army camped outside the city.
The army rested and its losses were counted.
After counting the losses, Huang Zhong came to the Chinese army's tent, clasped his fists and said: "Lord, we won the battle with Lu Bu this time. However, the black-armored soldiers lost 860 people in the battle, and 90 died in the first camp.
Eight people."
"Our losses are close to one thousand."
"The main loss was caused by the battle with Lu Bu's army in the city. The other losses were not significant. In this battle, the general Mo and Zhou Tai joined forces with Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to kill Lu Bu. The general also captured Chen Gong alive.
"
"There were many beheadings in this battle. The specific counting was arranged by Cao Jun."
Huang Zhong said: "I was worried about Cao Cao because of my humble position, so I arranged for people to investigate the situation and found that Lu Bu's generals Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others were all captured alive. Lu Bu's family members were also captured, and no one escaped.
"
Lu Xuan had approval in his eyes and said: "The Han Dynasty has been promoted. Please pass on the order and let the army rest and recuperate. We can't keep fighting Cao Cao's war here. After Lu Bu is destroyed, Cao Cao will be busy with the betrayals in various places. We will wait for him next."
Cao Cao handed over the war horses and other supplies, and then went to Xuzhou."
Huang Zhong thought for a while and asked: "My lord, now that Lu Bu is killed, will Cao Cao turn his back on us and attack us?"
"impossible."
Lu Xuan shook his head.
He looked confident and said: "Whether Cao Cao can kill me completely is a big question. If he can't kill me in one battle, I will escape. Or, if I directly counterattack, Cao Cao cannot afford such consequences."
"Cao Cao weighs the pros and cons and it is impossible to attack us. Even if Cao Cao has his mind, it will be friction at most and there will be no war. Cao Cao is actually happy that we leave early, otherwise Cao Cao will be nervous with me beside him."
Lu Xuan analyzed: "Without Lu Bu, Cao Cao's overall situation in Yanzhou will not be affected. He would like us to leave early."
Huang Zhongdao: "I understand the humble position."
Lu Xuan said: "Go and do your work, and bring Chen Gong by the way."
"Here!"
Huang Zhong turned and left.
After a while, Chen Gong was escorted by soldiers and came to Lu Xuan's camp.
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Gong and said, "You keep saying you surrender, but in the end you choose to betray."
Chen Gong's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Lu Xuan, it is impossible for me to leave Yanzhou. I will follow you to Yangzhou and have nothing. If you want to control me, that is impossible. I, Chen Gong, will never rely on others. Now, but
It’s just that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.”
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Cao Cao definitely wants to see you. I'll keep you and I can negotiate terms with Cao Cao. For Cao Cao, he definitely wants to see you and wants to ask you what's going on."
"Lu Xuan, kill me."
Chen Gong roared loudly.
He and Cao Cao are friends and have known each other since childhood. Now they part ways with Cao Cao for their own interests. Even if Chen Gong thinks that he is not betraying, he is betraying after all.
Chen Gong does not regret his betrayal.
However, I don't want to see Cao Cao.
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Gong with a smile and said, "If you want to die, you can commit suicide. I won't stop you."
As he spoke, he grabbed the sword beside him and threw it directly.
The long sword fell to the ground with a clang.
Chen Gong looked at the sword on the ground and picked it up tremblingly. He unsheathed the sword and looked at the cold blade, but he didn't have the courage to commit suicide. He threw away the blade in his hand with a clang and said loudly
: "Lu Xuan, if you want to kill me, kill me. Why do you need to humiliate me like this?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and sneered.
Chen Gong has strategies and talents, but unfortunately, he has talent but no virtue.
Lu Xuan no longer wanted to talk and ordered: "Come here, take Chen Gong down and keep him in custody."
The soldiers took Chen Gong away.
Lu Xuan stayed up all night and was a little tired. He rested for an hour. Huang Zhong sent him the news he had found out, which was the situation of Cao's army capturing Lu Bu's army. Huang Zhong's soldiers did not participate in the count, so they could understand the general situation.
Lu Xuan asked Huang Zhong to step back and read the information carefully and write it down one by one. This information would be useful when negotiating with Cao Cao.
Not long after, Lu Meng entered and reported: "Lord, Cao Cao is here."
"please!"
Lu Xuan gave an order.
After a while, Cao Cao entered the camp.
He casually lifted up his robe and sat down, and said excitedly: "Xian son-in-law, this time we fought with Lu Bu, thanks to your arrangements, we won a great victory. Tian Qing, a person with a traitor in his head, has been arrested.
The private armies of the Puyang clan also captured countless prisoners."
"Lü Bu's generals Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Song Xian, Wei Xu and others fell into the city. Song Xian, Wei Xu and others surrendered directly. Only Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were captured alive after some effort and many soldiers."
"Lü Bu's cavalry captured 600 people and had 800 horses."
"In addition, Lu Bu's family members were also captured, especially Diao Chan. According to the agreement, I took Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other Lu Bu's generals, as well as 600 Lu Bu's prisoners, 800 horses, and
Diao Chan and Lu Bu's family members are all given to you."
"I took a look for you. Lu Bu's daughter Lu Qiling is both stunning."
"I have brought you all the supplies and all the people, just outside your camp. I will hand them over to you now."
Cao Cao stroked his beard, his face flushed, and said with a smile: "Am I interested in you? If I say I will give it to you, I will give it all to you."
Lu Xuan thought in his heart after hearing this.
Cao Cao sent Diao Chan and Lu Qiling together, making it clear that he wanted them to be his own.
This is malicious.
Is it possible for you to take Lu Bu's wife and daughter as your own and make Lu Bu's subordinates surrender? However, it will not have any influence on Lu Xuan, but it will help. With Diao Chan, Lu Qiling and others, it will be easier to recruit surrenders.
.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "My father-in-law sent someone there himself, and I am very grateful. However, my father-in-law's arithmetic is not very good."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by the words of a good son-in-law?"
Lu Xuandao: "The number of prisoners and war horses mentioned by my father-in-law does not seem to be this number."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "How much is it?"
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said: "The news I got is that the elite soldiers of Lu Bu captured by my father-in-law are almost 5,000 and there are more than 2,000 horses. My father-in-law only gives me 600 soldiers and 800 horses now. And these,
They were all selected by my father-in-law, which is probably inappropriate."
Cao Cao felt a sudden change in his heart.
This kid Lu Xuan is hard to deceive.
Xiahou Dun had already made an inventory and found that more than 5,360 Lu Bu soldiers were captured. Only a few of Lu Bu's men escaped. Almost 4,000 Lu Bu soldiers were killed. Indeed, more than 2,000 Lu Bu's horses were captured.
match.
Even when Cao Cao saw these cavalry and horses, he liked them very much, so he kept many of them."
Cao Cao was thick-skinned and looked as usual. He smiled and said, "Xian son-in-law, you misunderstood. There are really only so many."
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp and he said forcefully: "Lu Bu has been killed, and I have already prepared to withdraw my troops and leave. My father-in-law broke his promise and failed to keep his promise, so I can only stay temporarily and hang out in Yanzhou for a while to see what Zhang Miao plans to do?"
"
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly.
Lu Xuan didn't want to suffer. On the surface, he said he wanted to see what Zhang Miao would do, but the implication was that he wanted to unite with Zhang Miao.
This is Lu Xuan's threat.
Lu Xuan's tone was cold and he continued: "Father-in-law, you should be more honest. I had the opportunity to seize Yanzhou, so I gave it up and tried my best to help you. But now, my father-in-law is hiding it. I just say one thing, it belongs to me.
Mine must not be missing even a penny. Otherwise, I will take it back myself."
