System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Don’t underestimate the fact that Dong Yu defeated Yuan Shu’s tens of thousands of troops.

But the Yuan family's wealth was there, and one or two failures could not shake Yuan Shu's foundation.

What's more, there is also Yuan Shao, who is equally strong and has personal abilities that surpass Yuan Shu.

The so-called negative evaluations such as being fierce in appearance but timid in heart, having big ambitions but little wisdom, etc. are nothing but slanders by the winners against the losers.

In the early days, Director Yuan was the only one among all the princes who truly understood the art of power.

"My lord, that man looks extraordinary, why don't you recruit him into your army?"

Zhao Yun looked back at Chen Qun who was still standing in the wind and snow, and couldn't help but look at Dong Yu and asked.

"Some people don't need to be recruited. When the time is right, they will naturally be yours. If the time is not right, then they will have nothing to do with you for the rest of their lives."

Dong Yu smiled and shook his head, then explained something meaningful.

Compared with Xun Yu's radicalism, Chen Qun is a bit conservative.

Such a person will not join any side until the situation in the world becomes clear.

In his opinion, the Chen family is wealthy and powerful, so there is no need to take the risk of taking sides in advance.

This may result in missing an opportunity for a great leap forward, but it will also preserve the Chen family's strength in the most complete way.

Facts have also proved that after the fall of Xun Yu, the aristocratic leader, the Chen family, to which Chen Qun belonged, quickly secured the top spot during the reign of Cao Pi.

During the days that Dong Yu disappeared, the entire Dong army was extremely worried.

The most important thing is that after Dong Yu disappeared, Li Tong, who went to look for Dong Yu, has not returned yet.

Could it be that the whole team is wiped out?

"No, I have to go find the young master!"

Zhang Xiu stood up with a bang and said anxiously.

"Where are you going to find it?"

"Now that the snow has fallen heavily, it's hard to find your tracks."

Xu Huang looked at Zhang Xiu and shook his head.

"Then you won't look for it?"

"If anything happens to the young master, you will all die!"

Zhang Xiu looked fierce and shouted angrily.

Not to mention that they all have to die, Zhang Xiu himself is probably not going to have an easy life either.

Given Dong Zhuo's temper, he would probably go completely crazy if he knew that his only son was missing.

"What's the noise?"

"Isn't he back?"

At this moment, Dong Yu's cheerful voice came from outside the tent.

"Little Lord!"

"Lord!"

Zhang Xiu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and other generals all looked towards the tent door.

Dong Yu was seen full of energy, followed by four generals: Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wen Pin, and Dian Wei, as well as Qiao Rui, who looked somewhat familiar to them.

"Did anything big happen during the few days I was away?"

Dong Yu looked at everyone and asked.

"Nothing serious."

"General Guo's injuries have been treated. The doctor said he needs to rest for a month or two."

"After the battle, we counted the number of defenders killed and wounded, and found that over 5,000 of them were wounded. Over the past few days, some of the more seriously wounded have died."

"It is estimated that no more than 3,000 people will survive in the end."

Zhang Liao lowered his head and began to report the current situation in a low voice.

In terms of casualties, injuries rank before deaths.

As long as a war is not a battle of crushing defeat, pursuit and annihilation, or siege, not many people will die on the spot during the battle between the two armies.

Of course, don't think that the wounded are luckier than those who die directly.

Because medical conditions were very limited in ancient times, the death rate of wounded soldiers was as high as over 50%, and serious injuries were almost equivalent to death.

"In war, casualties are inevitable."

"Properly bury the fallen soldiers."

"Also, tomorrow we will go to Yingyang to retrieve the money and food, and then we can withdraw our troops and return to Chang'an."

Dong Yu rubbed his temple and spoke.

They now had to get the money and food back before Yuan Shu had time to respond.

If we can get the warhorse back, it will be a huge profit.

But it doesn't seem very realistic.

The war horses were not as difficult to transport as the money and food, so they must have been transferred to Runan.

Fortunately, the enemy had no cavalry this time, otherwise the pursuit would have failed.

One cannot become a cavalryman just by having a warhorse; it requires a lot of time for training.
