To celebrate after seven weeks, I will be rewarded and recommended by the editor. I will shed tears and explain another chapter. I hope everyone will collect more and recommend more! Thank you!

"Liu Biao is really ready to recruit a large army to return?" Wei Yan said in surprise, "The Jiangdong Army that had a surprise attack on Jingzhou is only 34,000. Liu Biao should have summoned ten thousand troops from counties near Xiangyang. It is no problem to repel these thousands of Jiangdong troops. Why bother to return to the rescue?"

"General, as soon as the Jingzhou army retreats, our army's situation will be a little bad!" Li Tong said.

"Well~!" I nodded and said in a deep voice: "It would be fine if the Jingzhou army could retreat safely, but I was afraid that they would not be able to retreat even if they wanted to. That would be a real bad thing!"

"General, how do you explain this?" Gan Ning asked in confusion.

"If the Jingzhou army can retreat safely to Jingzhou, even if the crisis of the Jiangdong army has been temporarily alleviated, at least it can maintain strong pressure on it, so that the Jiangdong army must retain a large amount of military force to defend the West. If so, the situation on our side will not be too tight. I am afraid that Zhou Yu will take advantage of this opportunity to retreat and use his means to defeat the Jingzhou army in one fell swoop. If the Jingzhou army is defeated and loses the threat to Jiangdong, then Zhou Yu can free up his hands to deal with our army!"

"General, even if Zhou Yu led his army to come in person, we are not afraid of him!" Wei Yan said excitedly.

"...swish...! It's so light!" Li Tong said with a sneer: "Zhou Yu is quite extraordinary in his military use. If he leads the main force of the Jiangdong Army back, our army will not be afraid of its counterattack against Lujiang. However, if our army wants to go south to advance to Jiangdong, it will probably become even more difficult to face Zhou Yu's army, which has the advantage of Jiangdong's territory!"

After being robbed by Li Tong, Wei Yan looked a little embarrassed, but after thinking carefully for a while, he nodded in recognition of Li Tong's rebuttal.

Seeing that Wei Yan, who had always been proud, was not angry at the face of his refutation, a trace of complexity appeared in Li Tong's eyes.

I have been paying attention to Li and Wei. Seeing their reactions like this, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. Although they had a big holiday (mainly because Li Tong hated Wei Yan). But after working together for a while, the two actually felt a little sympathetic, and their views on many issues are often surprisingly consistent! But although Wei Yan was determined to claim the crime to Li Tong, Li Tong couldn't help but forgive Wei Yan. Of course, in my opinion, I really hope that the two of them could give up their past grudges. After all, they are both top-notch generals and may have to stand on their own in the future. If they always "fight" like this, it would not be a good thing!

"What Wenda said is very much! If this is the case, our army and the Jiangdong army will inevitably fall into a stalemate and exhausted battle. If this continues, it will be a bit unfavorable for our army!" I gently put down the silk book in my hand and said in a deep voice: "Of course, there is another possibility! This situation will be the most gratifying situation for our army."

"What's the situation?" Wei Yan asked anxiously with joy on his face.

"It is when the Jingzhou army was retreating, it did not disintegrate under the raid of Zhou Yu, but instead launched a bloody battle with it. Both sides were defeated and both sides were in a defeat!" My eyes couldn't help but show a look of desire, "If this is the case, our army's chance to cross the river and advance south will be ripe!"

"Xingba, in addition to continuing to harass the Jiangdong Navy, I will also give you another important task!" I said to Gan Ning in a deep voice.

"Please give me the order!" Gan Ning immediately bowed and clasped his fists and said with a sigh.

"Send people to Jiangxia and Huangshi areas to inquire about the military situation of Jingzhou and Jiangdong armies at 12 hours. If there is a major situation, we will immediately repay it so that our army can respond soon!"

"Don't worry, General, I'll let Chengyuan arrange the manpower!" Gan Ning nodded and responded, then stepped out of the hall.

"Everyone!" I raised my eyes and patrolled the generals and captains in the hall several times, and then said in a deep voice: "The following few days may directly concern whether our army can successfully enter Jiangdong! I hope you will command your own troops and make all combat preparations! Once the conditions are ripe, we will immediately cross the river and attack Jiangdong!"

"Yes, general!" The lieutenant general and the school responded in unison.

Fighter jets, what you lack now is a good fighter jet!

But whether this fighter will come is not up to me - it is entirely concerned with the Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army! All I can do now is wait... wait for this fighter to appear. But as long as this fighter appears, I must quickly detect and catch it!

………………………………………….

On the evening of July 21st, while I was anxiously waiting, the sentry soldiers sent by Ganning finally got rewards, but the news was quite bad - Cai Mao's troops in the Jingzhou Army were defeated by Zhou Yu's army!

Ding Feng, who was responsible for inquiring about the information, captured several defeated soldiers of Jingzhou Army and learned from these soldiers about the general process of Cai Mao's defeat. The reason—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The soldiers of Cai Mao's army, who did not understand the actual situation, were originally confused about the sudden retreat of their own army. After hearing these rumors, they became more suspicious and their morale was greatly shaken. At this time, Zhou Yu also took the opportunity to launch a follow-up attack on Cai Mao's army. Under the unprecedented fierce attack of the Jiangdong Army, the back of Cai Mao's army, with a weak army, was first "exploded the battalion" and retreated, which caused a chain reaction. The chaos spread from the rear team to the front team. In the end, the generals of the Jingzhou army could no longer control the situation. The Jingzhou army, which had lost control, was defeated like a mountain of defeat...

On July 22, just as I and Li Tong and Wei Yan and other generals urgently discussed whether they would return to our army immediately after the great victory of Zhou Yu's army, and how our army should deal with this possible threat, Ding Feng, who was responsible for inquiring about the intelligence of Jiangdong and Jingzhou armies, unexpectedly returned to Lujiang, and brought back one person—the envoy sent by Kuai Yue, the commander of the Jingzhou army, another route!

This envoy conveyed me another shocking news - under the unfavorable situation of the defeat of Cai Mao's army, the Kuai Yue army of Jingzhou army defeated Yangxin within three days, and set off several cities, and advanced to the city at a terrifying speed, and was trying to kill Sun Quan's nest in one fell swoop. After learning that Chaisang was in danger, Zhou Yu had no choice but to give up the pursuit of Cai Mao's remnants of the army and quickly brought the army back to Chaisang for rescue. Finally, when the city was about to be broken, he rushed back to Chaisang in time. Outside Chaisang City, Kuai Yue army and Zhou Yu's army fought an extremely fierce fierce battle. The Kuai Yue army had more troops and horses, while Zhou Yu's army was more energetic. Under the fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties. In the stalemate,

When the family had no soldiers to rescue, Kuai Yue thought of a way to break the deadlock - to send an envoy to secretly cross the river at night, come to Lujiang, and ask our army for help! It happened that when this "lucky" envoy crossed the river on a small boat, he happened to meet Ding Feng who was inquiring about information in the night. After a fight, he was finally captured by Ding Feng due to poor water quality. When Ding Feng asked about the origin and where the envoy was, the person was very stubborn at first and did not want to answer anything. However, after learning that Ding Feng was from Liu Bei's army in Lujiang, the envoy took the initiative to reveal his origin and whereabouts. After asking about the situation, Ding Feng also knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to neglect it, so he personally drove the boat to Lujiang.

"General Zhang, now our governor Kuai has led a large army to hold the main force of the Jiangdong army tightly. Jiangdong has no troops to support Chaisang. As long as you bring your troops across the river and attack Zhou Yu from the side and back, you will definitely defeat Jiangdong! If this battle can eliminate the main force of the Jiangdong army, combine the forces of our Lord and Liu Huangshu to wipe out the Sun family, and divide Jiangdong equally is only between the returnees!" Kuai Yue's envoy spoke extremely earnestly, "Please don't hesitate and send troops quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to find any better if the opportunity is lost!"

"What the envoy said is so good. How could you miss it? I was trying to bring the army across the river!" Seeing a hint of joy in the envoy's eyes, I asked with a smile: "I think the envoy looks extraordinary and is both civil and military. He feels like he is right at first sight. I don't know if the envoy can give him a name for his surname!" It is not to say that this person is both civil and military, but he is not deliberately saying good things about him. First of all, this person is quite clever in language, very logical, and very capable of bewitching people. Obviously, he should be a person with strategy. What's more rare is that he can even fight Ding Feng in martial arts. If it weren't for the unfamiliar nature of water, it would be a big question whether Ding Feng could defeat him. Such a talent with both civil and military is quite rare, which makes me curious about this person's identity.

"Ah~~?" This envoy who dressed very much like an ordinary soldier, seemed to have not expected that I would ask him the name of the "nameless little soldier". After a moment of shock, he replied in surprise: "Go to General Zhang, the villain's surname is Li Yan, and the Cao name is Zhengfang, a native of Nanyang!"

It turned out to be Li Yan?!!! No wonder! In the original historical trajectory, this man was a senior official who was on his verge as the eldest brother, who was on his verge and Zhuge Liang. Although he was dismissed from office for bad behaviors such as unfavorable work, such as tying up the responsibilities of the commission and killing his subordinates for his own crimes. However, only in terms of talent, Li Yan can definitely be regarded as the first-class talent in Shu Han. He can be a general and a prime minister (Note: Li Yan once replaced Zhuge Liang in charge of the Prime Minister's Office). Li Yan was from Nanyang, so it was normal to serve in the Jingzhou army at this time. It seems that he should have gone from Jingzhou to Yizhou in the later period and became a subordinate of Liu Zhang.

"I heard that Li Zheng in Nanyang is so talented and brave and resourceful. It turns out that he is just a single step, and I am really lucky to meet him!" I looked extremely enthusiastic on my face, and I stood up and walked to Li Yan's side.

"Ah~! The general has been too much, Yan really dares not take it!" Li Yan bowed to me in surprise and joy, and said humbly.

"With such a great talent in Zhengfang, he is a key position under Liu Jingzhou!" I said to Li Yan with a smile.

Li Yan's face darkened slightly, and he said a little unnaturally: "The general praised it. Yan Zhi's talent is not worth mentioning. Now he is only appointed as the head of the disciple of Baqiu County, Changsha County!"

"It's so useless, a pity! It's a pity! I don't know if the righteous man intends to defect to my brother. With your talent, you can only go out and guard in the hands of the generals!" I said to Li Yan with a sincere expression.

"Uh~!" Li Yan really didn't expect that when he first met, I wanted to recruit him so bluntly. His expression kept changing, and he was obviously a little moved, but in the end...

"The general loves you very much, Yan Shi is ashamed of you!"

"Sad! Sorry!" I shook my head and sighed - recruiting talents is indeed not that easy!

"The Zhengfang is unwilling to surrender, and Fei dares not force him. I just hope he will be destined to do so in the future!"

"Thank you for your understanding, General!" Li Yan bowed and bowed again and said, "General Zhang, this is the matter of sending troops..."

"Don't worry, Zheng Fang, the matter of sending troops is urgent, so I will know it naturally." I said with a smile, "Zheng Fang can go down and rest for a while. I will discuss the matter of going to war with the generals under my tent immediately!"
