Chapter 731: The Second Player Prince Appears
30,000 against 20,000, and they were beaten so hard that they had no power to fight back. In a rage, Cao Cao ordered people to fork Xiahou Dun out of the big tent and behead him. Of course, the civil and military officials in the tent competed to plead for him. In the end, Cao Cao ordered him to be beaten with 50 military sticks and punished for half a year before he stopped.
The reason for this result was that Cao Cao underestimated the 30,000 reinforcements. Although Meng Gang was a general under Huangfu Chaobo, everyone knew what kind of person he was. The North Sea Army of Kong Rong was originally a typical soft persimmon. As for the alien soldiers of Ye Lai Xiang, there was no problem with the habit of the aliens to cherish their soldiers.
But the problem appeared with this alien. No one could have thought that Ye Lai Xiang was so crazy. The 10,000 troops attacked his 20,000 troops desperately, and with the fierce general leading them, they actually stunned the two generals of Le Jin.
Cao Cao's camp was in uproar, but the reinforcement camp in the north of the city cheered. Not to mention that his 20,000 troops actually overwhelmed the enemy's 30,000 troops. Although he lost nearly 10,000 people, he was proud of it. You have to know that this was Cao Cao's army that swept across Xuzhou.
The 10,000 troops lost were mainly Ye Lai Xiang's troops. The 10,000 troops finally gathered less than 4,000. However, Ye Lai was not dissatisfied. According to his observation, there were nearly 2,000 soldiers who reached the ninth level or the edge of the ninth level. The other soldiers were also at level 42 and 43, which completely achieved one of his goals.
Moreover, the bigger surprise was still to come. When Tao Qian in the city learned that his subordinate Yi Ren was so dedicated, he immediately asked someone to replenish his troops. At the same time, he also gave him 1,000 Danyang soldiers, as well as matching special arms tokens and barracks drawings.
This huge surprise almost knocked Ye Lai Xiang unconscious. Now, even if Tao Qian no longer had any rewards, Ye Lai Xiang's gains were enough to make up for his losses.
However, before leaving, Tao Qian's envoy told Ye Lai Xiang that the envoy would reward him after the battle. Hearing this news, Ye Lai Xiang was even more delighted.
As for the losses of Meng Gang and Zong Yu, they were not small. Meng Gang's battle camp lost more than a thousand soldiers, and Zong Yu's school lost nearly half of its soldiers. These were mainly caused by the joining of Cao Chali's Tiger Guard Army and Cao Xiu's Qingzhou Army. Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Gang immediately ordered the army to stop attacking and retreat slowly, which avoided greater casualties. The purpose of Cao Cao's army was also to rescue Xiahou Dun's troops, so the two armies did not entangle much and stopped fighting.
That night, Cao Cao summoned all the generals to discuss matters again. Just when they were discussing matters, news of the unusual movements of troops in Luoyang and Chenliu came, and Cheng Yu also said that heavy snow was coming in the Central Plains, so although Cao Cao was unwilling, he could only order the army to withdraw to Yanzhou and make plans next year.
However, when Cao Cao's army left, they swept away the population of several cities west of Tan County and forcibly moved them all to Yanzhou. When the Xuzhou army took over the city, it was all empty.
Cao Cao's army finally left, and everyone in Xuzhou in Tan County breathed a sigh of relief. As for the emptying of several county towns, well, what does that have to do with me?
After the army, it was time to reward merit.
Tao Qian hosted a banquet in the Xuzhou governor's mansion to entertain the reinforcements and Xuzhou civil and military officials. When the wine was drunk, Tao Qian led everyone in Xuzhou to express their gratitude to Meng Gang and Zong Yu again and again. As for the thank-you gift, it was definitely indispensable.
Afterwards, Tao Qian made another stroke of the pen, and the five counties of Langya State, including Dongguan County, Zhu County, Dongwu County, Langya County, and Gumu County, and the six cities of Gai County in Taishan County previously occupied by Tuo Lai Xiang, were combined into one county, Langya County. Tuo Lai Xiang was appointed as the fourth-rank Guangwu General and the governor of Langya County, Xi Zhicai as the county magistrate, and Yue Xi as the commander. There are about 32,080 households and 357,096 people in the six cities of Langya County.
For a time, the whole game was in an uproar. The former No. 1 village in the world once again rose up and became the second vassal force among the players.
Huangfu Chaobo did not expect that Tuo Lai Xiang would become a county governor at this time. However, after hearing the game announcement, Huangfu Chaobo quickly sent congratulations in the entire game channel, and soon received a thank-you response from Tuo Lai Xiang.
Soon, players such as Huangchao Hegemony also congratulated Tuo Lai Xiang in the game channel.
At this time, Ye Lai Xiang has fallen into pain and happiness. He has six counties, but he only has one civil and one military officer. The rest are just ordinary transferred generals, and it is difficult for them to take on the task. After thinking again and again, Ye Lai Xiang sent a private message to Huangfu Chaobo, asking carefully about the famous general card in the copy mission.
In addition, Ye Lai Xiang has no other way to improve the strength of his subordinates. After Huangfu Chaobo pondered for a while, he did not hide much and told him about his guess. Huangfu Chaobo knew that he could not hide it if he wanted to. Instead of doing this, he might as well tell Ye Lai Xiang openly.
The rise of players is something Huangfu Chaobo cannot stop. In addition to constantly strengthening his own strength, he must also establish good relations with major forces. At least he does not have the strength to sweep the world at present. And Ye Lai Xiang is currently one of the few people he wants to have a good relationship with.
During the battle of Xuzhou, a battle was also taking place in Ganling, Hebei, far away. After the first snow stopped, like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao wanted to retreat, but he was unwilling to do so, so he ordered his army to attack again.
Although Huang Zhong's 4,000 cavalry entered the city, they hid from Yuan's scouts. When the battle was in full swing, Huang Zhong's 4,000 cavalry suddenly rushed out of the city, killing the half-attacked Yuan soldiers and forcing them to flee in panic.
Yuan Shao saw this and immediately sent Jiang Qi's 10,000 cavalry to support them, but they were also defeated by Huang Zhong's Hu Ben cavalry. The loss of 10,000 cavalry was nearly 30%, which caused heavy losses to Yuan Shao, who was originally short of cavalry. Fortunately, the charge of the Hu Ben cavalry was blocked by an elite spearman, which prevented Yuan Shao's army from being defeated.
This was also Yuan Shao's carelessness. He divided the army into three parts. Yan Liang and Wen Chou each led a part of the army to attack from Julu and Anping respectively. The main purpose was to contain Zhang He and his 20,000 cavalry army. However, he was only surrounded by his sons and nephews, as well as Ju Yi and Jiang Qi. As a result, no one could stop Huang Zhong, so such a tragedy occurred.
So, another lucky player appeared in the eyes of the players, and his generals and soldiers were also known to everyone.
The player's name is Yuan Dushi, and he is a Yuan fan at first glance. He is currently a confidant of Yuan Shao's eldest son, and the general under him is another famous general under Cao Cao - Yu Jin. This made the players suddenly realize that it was no wonder that Yu Jin disappeared after Bao Xin died. It turned out that he was secretly poached by him.
