After receiving Zhang Wu's order, Feixiong immediately recruited farmers from the surrounding counties, found more than 3,000 wheelbarrows, picked up the soldiers and piled them on the carts, and headed towards Shangcai in a mighty manner.

"General, the battle damage statistics have been calculated. Sixty-four of our troops were slightly injured, and no one was killed."

Zhang Wu was shocked when he heard this, and saw that the fusion degree jumped a lot, reaching 41%.

Although the plan was decided by Xun You, the one who led the army was still Zhang Wu. A win with less and more with zero casualties directly increased the integration degree by 26%, which is reasonable.

After all, this kind of battle in which a small number is used to win a big victory is really rare.

Especially the exaggerated death of no one, although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

From the very beginning, Han Dang and Cheng Pu, who led their troops to resist Zhang Wu's attack, were spearheaded in front of the battle. Without fighting spirit, they could not pose any threat to the following cavalry troops.

At the top of Cai City, Cao Ren pretended to attack for another day.

Just as he was about to withdraw his troops and return to camp, he saw tens of thousands of civilians swarming in, pushing dead bodies.

After catching a flying bear cavalryman and asking about it, he found out that they had just won a victory over there and killed more than 20,000 enemies. The reinforcements sent by Yuan Shu had been defeated and fled in all directions.

While Cao Ren shouted that he had miscalculated, he also sent greetings to Xun You.

His army was feinting here day and night, which was that guy's bad idea. Now it seems that this idea is not only bad, but also very bad.

It was obvious that he had worked hard to support Fei Xiong. After a big battle, he should be credited with supporting him no matter what.

Now, it's okay. Ge Yang, the most inconspicuous of the three counties, was given to Cao Ang. He was the prime minister's son, so he should get some credit. But he supported Zhang Wu all the way down, either recruiting troops to defend the city, or waving flags and shouting from the sidelines.

This is nothing like what a general should do. Any military commander can do it.

And once the battle report here is reported to the prime minister, won't Cao Ren really become a joke?

Those generals who usually disobey him are not allowed to drown him with saliva!

Cao Ren was sulking alone when he saw Zhang Wu coming on horseback with his head held up. He was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Zhang Ziqian! You are going too far!"

Zhang Wu waved his spear and stood in front of Cao Ren, preventing him from stepping forward: "Is it possible that Zixiao doesn't know who the commander-in-chief of the army is? What's the decency of you to shout like this?"

"you!"

"Okay, don't put on such a bitter face. This battle is the first achievement, and we are the second best. We are all working for the Prime Minister's plan, so don't worry about the small contributions."

Having said that, Zhang Wu was already happy. He attacked the city and defeated the enemy. He had surpassed Cao Ren by dozens of blocks.

Ever since his marriage to Cao Jie was arranged, Cao Ren had regarded himself as Zhang Wu's uncle, and it was extremely satisfying to make him feel deflated.

Zhang Wu may have felt that Cao Ren was not miserable enough, so he continued to finish off the attack: "Yang Xiu is already drafting the battle report here. I wonder if Zixiao has anything to add."

"Supplementary? What a complete supplement!" Cao Ren threw his sword to the ground and walked away angrily.

He could guess exactly what was written in Yang Xiu's battle report. It must mean that Cao Ren worked tirelessly and worked hard without complaining!

It is simply a shame for a general who leads an army to work tirelessly and bear no complaints in exchange for a small amount of credit.

Seeing Cao Ren running away in anger, Zhang Wu did not pursue him, but carried his bloody head to Shangcai City.

"I am Chen Liu Zhang Wu. I call Zhang Xun to come out. I have something to say to him." With that, he threw Cheng Pu's head towards the city.

The head is naturally a fake made by Zhang Wuming's craftsman.

It was inevitable to kill the enemy in front of the formation, but as the general who led the army, Zhang Wu would not show off his head after Cheng Pu's death. This was the most basic respect.

The reason why he threw a fake head on like this was because of his intimidating aura.

In Shangcai City, the prefect's mansion.

"Report!!~~~"

"Report! Report to the general!!"

The soldier yelled anxiously outside the door, but Zhang Xun was still having fun with his beautiful concubine inside. The soldier summoned him three times before Zhang Xun reluctantly picked up his trousers and stepped out of the bedroom, with an impatient look on his face: "But Shouchun Reinforcements have arrived?"

Gudu! ~

The soldier swallowed secretly, handed over a bloody head, and said cautiously: "General, the Shouchun reinforcements have been dispersed by Cao Jun, and the corpses are piled outside Shangcai City. Now Cao Ying's leading general Zhang Wu calls you. Narrative at the top of the city."

Seeing the head was nothing, Zhang Xun thought it was a suspicion, but when he heard Zhang Wu's name, his legs shook, he sat down on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Fart! The leader of Cao's army is obviously Cao Ren! You don’t care about life and death, don’t you know what the crime of falsely reporting military intelligence is?”

The soldier lowered his head and said: "General, how dare you, a small soldier, to talk nonsense? If the general doesn't believe it, you will know when you go up to the top of the city and take a look."

Zhang Xun arrived at the city gate doubtful and saw five thousand fine cavalry standing on their horses. The military flag held high the word "Zhang". The leader was riding a horse and carrying a spear. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Wu.

The densely packed wheelbarrows on the side were filled with corpses, and the standard armor of the Yangzhou military could be vaguely seen.

"Zhang Xun! I order you to dig open the city gate and come out of the city to surrender, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"

"The situation is over, the situation is over!"

Lieutenant General Lei Bo gritted his teeth: "General, there is still more than a hundred days of food in the city, and Cao's army is small. We can still hold the city and wait for reinforcements!"

Zhang Xun lamented: "I'm afraid there will be no more reinforcements!!!"

Since Zhang Wu had taken Runan and Ruyin counties, how could he not take Geyang? Once Geyang fell, Cao Jun could completely occupy Geyang to resist the Yangzhou troops.

The first time they came for reinforcements, it was because the news spread quickly and it was impossible for Cao's army to occupy Geyang in such a short time. The second time, Yuan Shu was afraid that even if he came in person, he would be blocked from Yuzhou.

At this moment, Shangcai has completely become an isolated city.

Outside, Cao Jun can completely replenish military supplies on the spot in various counties in Runan. So what if he has a hundred days of surplus food? What happens after a hundred days?

Will Zhang Wu become so angry that he kills someone?

"That's all, dig open the city gate and ask for surrender."

Lei Bo drew his sword in anger and put it against Zhang Xun's neck: "General! There are still 50,000 soldiers in the city who can fight. You don't want to repay the kindness of the Lord, but you want to open the city and surrender! Where is the loyalty?"

"Vice General Lei, if you have anything to say, please put down your weapon first and we will discuss it later. We will discuss it later!"

Lei Bo sheathed his sword and came to the city: "Zhang Wu! Others are afraid of you, but I, Lei Bo, am not afraid of you. I will let you attack Cai Cai. If you can enter the city, I will be yours!"
