This data shocked Liu Ke, and Guo Jia also found it incredible.
According to the final statistics, 40,000 people died in Yangzhou, while Cao Cao's army lost 100,000 people, and countless others were injured.
Among them, Liu Ke captured 50,000 people, some of whom were also asleep, some who failed to escape in time and were captured, or who simply could not escape.
In other words, among the hundreds of thousands of Cao Cao's troops who participated in the battle, only ten or twenty thousand were able to escape.
This is a great victory, but also a tragic victory.
Yangzhou has not suffered such a major loss in many years.
Liu Ke felt very sad and prayed for all the sacrificed subordinates.
As for Cao Cao¡¯s army, mourning is now everywhere.
"Wen Ze, you have made a great contribution this time." Cao Cao weakly praised.
This made Yu Jin very embarrassed. Although he attacked the Yangzhou Army's camp and captured Runan, he had an inexplicable feeling when the main force was defeated.
Cao Cao praised Yu Jin from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Yu Jin, he would still be hunted down at this moment, and then flee to Chenliu.
Where can I sit comfortably in the city lord's mansion?
"Don't tell me, Yuan Shu will enjoy it. The decoration of the city lord's mansion is very luxurious.
"My Lord, with Runan, we have the power to fight back. Sooner or later, we will defeat the Yangzhou Army." Yu Jin said.
Cao Cao sighed, but in the end he said nothing.
"My lord, everyone is watching you, how can you be so depressed?" Xi Zhicai said.
Only he can express his thoughts directly in front of Cao Cao.
"Zhicai, give me some time. Do you think I'm wrong?" Cao Cao said.
"If he had not insisted on being an enemy of Dongyang Hou, but directly led his army to open up Xiliang, I am afraid that Xiliang would have been conquered by now.
Even if you don¡¯t attack Xiliang, planning to merge the state is still a good choice. Why did you lose your mind and become an enemy of Dongyang Hou?
Cao Cao couldn¡¯t figure out what he was thinking at the time.
"My lord, you are wrong because you are too proud. The excellence of Marquis Dongyang makes you overwhelmed." Xi Zhicai said.
"That's right, I always wanted to compete with him, but I ignored it. It's not the right time yet." Cao Cao sighed.
Now, his strength is not enough to challenge Yangzhou's dominance. If the establishment of the Allied Forces is postponed for two years, it will be different.
"It is rumored that the person who built the Allied Forces was a counselor named Li Shang under Liu Bei, and Yuan Benchu ??believed that this Li Shang seemed to be Li Ru. We were all plotted by him. Yuan Benchu ??saw this, and he used his plan to make him Gongsun Zan lost his troops and generals, but also took some benefits from the Marquis of Dongyang." Xi Zhicai said.
As time goes by, Xi Zhicai has more and more information.
"It's him!" Cao Cao was shocked, and at the same time he was a little envious of Yuan Shao.
It seems that the forces that cooperated with Yangzhou have benefited.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao became even more sad.
How great would it be if he sought benefits from Yangzhou while developing westward.
People, only when they are lost will they cherish something.
"Zhicai, what do you think I should do?" Cao Cao said, finally admitting his failure.
"Search Runan's wealth, then redeem the prisoners from Dongyanghou, and then hand over Runan, and reach a truce with Dongyanghou." Xi Zhicai said, finishing in one go.
By doing this, the losses of Cao Cao's army can be minimized.
Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Yu Jin, and Yu Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "It's all up to the master."
After all, it was Yu Jin who defeated Runan, so doing this seemed a bit unfair to him, so Cao Cao asked Yu Jin for his opinion.
Although the result is the same, the process is definitely different and can win people's hearts.
Xi Zhicai saw that his lord had not lost his mind and was still a courteous corporal, so he said: "Wen Ze, don't be too sad. We can't keep things in Runan. If you get greedy, you will have to face the Marquis of Dongyang directly."
Yu Jin nodded, this explanation is enough.
Xi Zhicai¡¯s original intention was to build Runan into a buffer zone, which was exactly what Cao Cao had in mind.
This time Cao Cao suffered heavy losses and will definitely not be able to face Yangzhou again. Otherwise, any attempt to achieve hegemony will be empty talk, and the top priority is to restore vitality.
Although Yu Jin agreed to the matter, he still felt a little unhappy. After all, Runan represented his achievements. ThisA little bit of dissatisfaction was reflected in the confiscation of homes. Yuan Shu's accumulation was not a small amount.
"Moreover, Runan is the base of the Yuan family, the home of the four generations and three fathers, and has countless wealth.
Yu Jin gritted his teeth and copied them all. It didn't matter if he offended or not, he copied five million gold in one go.
Not only was Yuan Shu¡¯s treasury gone, but the Yuan family¡¯s treasury was mostly empty. In the past few years, Yuan Shu took advantage of his proximity to Yangzhou and made a lot of money by doing second-hand business, but it was all gone all of a sudden.
The reason why Yuan Shu came back again and again was because he held wealth in his hands, but now his fortune was gone.
Although Yuan Shu escaped, he still had spies in the city. When he heard the news, he couldn't help vomiting blood and fainted.
Now that the soldiers and horses are gone and the money is gone, what kind of prince is he still?
No, there is also an army of 30,000 people led by Ji Ling.
Yuan Shu was about to cry but had no tears, so when Cao Cao's envoy came, he raised his sword and was about to go up and kill the person, but Dian Wei threw him out.
"So, Cao Cao is willing to spend five million gold to redeem all the prisoners?" Liu Ke said in surprise.
There are about 50,000 Cao Cao's troops in Runan City now, which is more than enough to defend the city.
"Yes, war reparations are included." Mao Jie said, "Our Lord is still willing to withdraw from Runan. He only hopes to sign a three-year armistice agreement with Yangzhou."
Liu Ke thought about it and concluded that Cao Cao's conditions were acceptable. Firstly, Cao Cao was sincere and had enough money to support his subordinates. Secondly, he captured Runan without any blood and gave an explanation to Yuan Shu. As for the armistice agreement, Liu Ke also expressed his approval. After all, he would not have time to attack Cao Cao within three years.
"Additionally, Cao Cao will not be allowed to set foot in Yuzhou for three years." Liu Kedao.
This article can be regarded as compensation for Yuan Shu.
"I don't think the lord will object." Mao Jie said, agreeing to the matter.
Although Yuzhou is good, Cao Cao may not even consider places close to Yangzhou.
The two discussed some details and both parties were very satisfied.
Yuan Shu was so frustrated that he did not dare to show up and sent Yan Xiang to visit Liu Ke.
"Marquis Dongyang, my lord has contributed a lot in this battle. Isn't this a bit unfair?" Yan Xiang said.
"We are not allies." Liu Ke's first words made Yan Xiang's heart sink to the bottom.
Liu can see that Yan Xiang calmed down and continued:
"Runan was lost by Yuan Shu, and now I got it back for him. To be honest, our army is unable to attack Runan now."
Yan Xiang agrees with this. Indeed, being able to get Runan back is already the greatest compensation.
"Cao Cao promised not to enter Yuzhou within three years. I will deal with Sun Ce later. If Yuan Shu is really capable, go for it yourself." Liu Kedao.
"" Yan Xiang.
This is good news for the ambitious princes, but Runan no longer has enough troops.
"I will provide Yuan Shu with equipment for 20,000 people for free, and I will pay for more if he needs more," Liu Kedao said.
"" Yan Xiang.
"What does some money mean? I have sold Yuan Shu the opportunity to seize a state. Whether he can seize it or not is none of my business. At the same time, as long as he is willing to pay, I can organize mercenaries to help him seize Yuzhou. ." Liu Kedao.
Yan Xiang thought for a while, and it seemed like a good deal, and said, "I wonder how many troops the Marquis of Dongyang can provide?"
"Within twenty thousand." Liu Kedao.
about there!
Yan Xiang was a little excited. He suddenly felt that as long as he had money, he could buy it in any state. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
