This weekend's page is closed and I will explain another chapter. I hope everyone will collect more and recommend more! Thank you!

More than an hour later, the shouts of killing and tragic roars in the Wuhu water barracks all returned to silence, and the battle to attack the camp was completely over!

Originally Lu Fan's main tent

"Yuan Jian, how is our army's combat damage?" Wei Yan asked Liao Hua, who had just cleaned up the military camp.

"There were 15 brothers killed, and 3,40 others were slightly injured!" Liao Hua said with a slightly sad expression. Although such casualties can be said to be minimal, the soldiers of the Langya Camp were all trained by Liao Hua. After months of living together day and night, they had already established a deep relationship. The death of these 15 soldiers still made Liao Hua feel a little sad.

"Yuan Jian... don't be sad, there will always be casualties on the battlefield..." Wei Yan comforted Liao Hua in a harmonious voice, "...By the way, what are our results?"

"... More than 1,700 enemy soldiers were killed and more than 1,400 were captured, totaling about 3,200. According to the surrendered Jiangdong soldiers, a total of 3,300 people were stationed in the Wuhu camp, so almost more than 100 people were escaped." Liao Hua calmed down his mood and replied quickly.

"5 fighting ships, 37 Mengchong, and 89 boats were seized!" Ding Feng added excitedly.

"Well~! This battle has been a complete victory!" Wei Yan nodded slightly and said to Ding Feng loudly: "Chengyuan, send someone to report the victory to the general immediately. Please ask the general to cross the river as soon as possible and prepare to attack Danyang County!"

"Yes, I'll arrange for people to return to Lujiang to report the news!"

……………………………………………

In Lujiang, soldiers and officials from the city guards come in and out from time to time in the city guards, all of whom are in a hurry, with a nervous expression and a little excited.

In the conference hall, not only were there a group of generals and corpses gathered in the army, but the main officials of Lujiang City headed by Chen Zhen were also recruited.

"Just just received the battle report, Wen Chang and Yuan Jian successfully captured Wuhukou at two o'clock this morning, and the Jiangdong Pass River Navy was completely wiped out. It can be said that there is no force in the Yangtze River waters on the eastern front that can stop our army from crossing the river. Even if Zhou Yu received the news of the fall of Wuhu and dispatched the navy to support the Eastern front as quickly as possible, it would have to be five or six days later!" My face was filled with extraordinary spirit, and my bright eyes kept patrolling back and forth in the hall.

"That's great..." The generals in the conference hall all looked happy and started to talk in a low voice.

"General, do you want to lead your army across the river immediately?" Li Tong asked in a deep voice with a serious expression.

"Not bad!" I nodded and said without hesitation: "Now the time is ripe, and the troops, horses, food and grass are fully prepared. I intend to take the division to board the boat and cross the river in an hour!"

After a pause, I said to Li Tong earnestly: "Wenda, after I led my army across the river, the military affairs in the city were entrusted to you. I hope you can defend the city well."

"Please rest assured, General! Even if you are scattered, Tong will also help you to ensure that Lujiang will not lose!" Li Tong stepped out, bowed and clasped his fists and said in an extremely firm tone.

"With Wenda guarding Lujiang, I can guide Jiangdong with peace of mind!" I turned to Chen Zhen and said, "I will also ask you and Wenda to work together to stabilize the city, stabilize the people's hearts, and diligently cultivate government affairs!"

"Don't worry, General, this is Zhen's duty!" Chen Zhen also stepped out and bowed and responded.

"Okay~!" I slapped the table in front of me, and I stood up and said loudly: "After my troops entered Jiangdong, Wenda, the entire territory of Lujiang, was in charge of military affairs, and the government affairs were responsible by Xiaoqi. All the left-behind generals and officials were required to follow Wenda and Xiaoqi!"

"Yes!" A group of civil and military generals who had been arranged to stay behind in advance responded in unison.

"Zifeng, Wen'an! You two go quickly to scrub the troops and horses on the expedition, and prepare to board the boat and cross the river!" I spoke to Lin Xue and Jin Chou and the other two in a deep voice.

"Get orders!" After Lin and Jin received the order, they immediately stepped out of the line and left the hall...

"Report to General, Jingzhou Army Envoy Li Yan asked for a visit!" A personal soldier in the mansion quickly came to the door of the conference hall and reported loudly.

It seems that Li Yan can't wait any longer, so he came over and urged me to send troops! The corners of my mouth curled slightly, and said to the remaining civil and military officials in the hall aloud: "All matters have been explained clearly. I hope you will do your duty. Please ask everyone if you fly here!"

"I dare not let the general down!" Everyone in the hall replied in unison.

"Okay~! Today's discussion ends here. Everyone will return to their posts and let's break up!" Then, I said to the personal soldiers outside the hall, "Please ask the Jingzhou envoy Li Yan to enter the hall!"

Soon, Li Yan stepped into the conference hall and immediately bowed deeply after seeing me, saying, "Greetings to General Zhang!"

"Zhengfang doesn't have to be so polite, please get up quickly!" I stepped away from my seat, came to Li Yan, stretched out my hands to help him up, and said with a smile: "You and Zhengfang feel the same way at first sight, and you are quite willing to communicate with you. Judging from the age, how old are I am to you? If Zhengfang doesn't dislike you, I can be brothers!"

"How does this make..." Li Yan said in a panic look and said in a hurry: "The general's divine power is famous in the country! Yan Yijie, who has no virtue and name, dares to climb up!"

"We are all martial arts practitioners, and we should be honest in our behavior. If Zheng Fang is interested, we are friends and brothers, and we don't have to take into account any trivial matters such as identity and false reputation!" I said to Li Yan seriously.

"Thank you for your love, General!" Li Yan's eyes flashed with a strange look of excitement. Although he was still observing the etiquette, his tone was obviously no longer so unfamiliar.

"Is the Zhengfang here to see me for the purpose of sending troops?" Before Li Yan could ask, I picked out the topic myself.

"...That's right!" Li Yan said with a slightly anxious look; "I wonder if the general is ready to send troops?"

"Haha..." I said with a faint smile: "Don't worry! Last night, I ordered my commander, Gan Ning, to lead the main force of our navy to Chaisang!"

"Jinfan thief?!!!..." When he heard me mention Gan Ning, Li Yan immediately exclaimed, and then apologized without hesitation, "...uh... please forgive me, the villain has lost his words!"

"Haha... Zhengfang doesn't have to do this! Gan Xing's domineering acts in the dark and turns to the light and serves in my elder brother's army. Zhengfang doesn't know about this, so it's not surprising that he is surprised!" I smiled and said, "With Gan Ning's ability, leading our navy to help the governor Kuai, can make the Jiangdong navy frustrated! Zhengfang should be relieved!"

"Thank you, General!" Li Yan immediately said with joy, then as if he was thinking of something again, and hesitated: "General...Are you not going to dispatch infantry troops to raid Chaisang?"

Li Yan is indeed a talented person. My call was completely unable to fool him. He reacted so quickly and got to the point. I smiled and looked at Li Yan and asked in a harmonious voice: "Zhengfang, I regard you as a friend of mine, and I hope you can be honest with me too! In your opinion, if I dispatched infantry troops to cross the Yangtze River and attacked Chaisang directly, how many chances of victory would I have? How many troops would it lose?"

"…This…” Li Yan hesitated for a while, his expression kept changing. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said with a heartbeat: "The general's chances of winning are probably less than 10%!"

"The Zhengfang should be very clear about the reason!" I stared at Li Yan tightly and said earnestly.

"Yes!" Li Yan simply opened his heart and said, "The general commander's army crosses the river and attacks Chaisang, and will inevitably be intercepted by the main force of the Jiangdong Navy. Since the Jingzhou Navy commander of the General Cai has just been defeated, your navy may have limited strength. At present, the Jiangdong Navy, which controls the Chaisang waters, is invincible for head-on confrontation. The general thinks that the direct threat faced by the army crossing the river is the Jiangdong Navy!"

"Okay! It turns out that the heroes have similar views! With Zheng Fang's talent, it is really a talent to not be appointed as a general without a school appointment! If you have the intention in the future, Zheng Fang can come to serve our army at any time. I will welcome you in the end!" I shook my head and sighed.

"General Thank you for your praise!" Li Yan's eyes were full of gratitude. After thinking for a while, he said to me: "Some words... do you not know whether to say them or not?"

"Just say it!" I said without hesitation.

"Yan thought that although the general was not suitable to directly advance to Chaisang, he could attack Jiangdong from other places! Most of the Jiangdong military strength was concentrated in the western front of the Chaisang area, and nearly half of it was consumed by the Jingzhou army. And at present, as long as the general's army did not retreat for a day, the Jiangdong army would not be able to return for a day. This is a good opportunity for the general to attack Jiangdong's hinterland from the eastern front! As long as one of the two counties can be pacified as soon as possible, the general can divide Jiangdong with the Sun family and govern it!" Li Yan analyzed carefully.

"Hahaha..." I burst out laughing knowingly. From Li Yan's analysis, we can see at least two points - first, he is indeed a very outstanding talent. In terms of military strategy alone, there are probably few people under my command who can compare with him. Wei Yan may be considered one, and Li Tong is slightly worse than him. Second, under the influence of my series of words and deeds, at least 70% of Li Yan's heart is towards our army. However, it is no wonder that with Li Yan's talent, how could he satisfy him with only being an inequality local official like a pavilion chief under the sect? And my kindness gave him great hope, but he might be hesitant if he was reluctant to take the lead and he would be despised!

"...ah~?" Seeing me laughing loudly, Li Yan couldn't help but be stunned, but seeing that I didn't look like I was making fun of him, after a slight contemplation, he suddenly came over, "Is it... the general who is preparing to do this?"

"Haha... I was called out by the official!" I smiled and nodded, "I am about to send troops to attack Danyang County!"

"It turns out that the general had expected it, and Li Yan admired it!" Li Yan said excitedly. The other party's idea coincided with him, which made Li Yan feel a close friend. But what made Li Yan even happier was that the other party was so devoted to telling himself the major strategy among the generals in the heartland, which showed that he did not regard himself as an outsider.

"We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so polite!" I said with a smile: "How many more days should Zheng Fang rest in Lujiang?"

"General, there is no need! Yan is ready to return to the governor Kuai today!"

"Yeah! It's good!" I nodded and said, "When the Zhengfang saw Kuai Du, Dai Fei greeted him and explained to him the reason why I failed to send troops to attack Chaisang!"

"Explanation? Why do you need an explanation?" Li Yanyang pretended to be surprised and said, "The general has already sent the Ganning Captain to lead his army to raid Chaisang!"

"Haha..." I laughed, then clasped my fists and bowed to Li Yanwei and said, "I'll ask Zhengfang for everything! I don't say much if I am grateful. I'm just saying the words I said just now - 'If you have the will in the future, Zhengfang can come to serve our army at any time, and I will welcome you back then'"

Li Yan quickly bowed and bowed with his fists and said respectfully, "Thank you, General! Li Yan said goodbye first, I hope to see you again in the future!"

"It will definitely be!" I said with certainty, "Master must be careful on his way back! I will send a water barracks to see you off!"

Li Yan gave another gust of gratitude, then turned around and strode away from the conference hall.

"Huh~~!" After leaving the city guard, Li Yan looked up at the sky and breathed a long sigh. Although the sky was covered with clouds, Li Yan's heart was already clear.

"What a pleasure it would be if he could join Uncle Liu and serve under General Zhang Fei's tent!" Li Yan shook his head slightly, looked back at the Lujiang City Guardian, and then left...

………………………………………

July 23rd, Shen Time.

At Wuhukou, more than 30 large grain ships filled with soldiers (snatched from the Jiangdong Army by Jinfan Camp in the previous battle) slowly drove into the dock.

"General, you are here!" As soon as the ship docked, he had already received news. Wei Yan, who was waiting in the dock, immediately came to me.

"Yeah!" I stepped forward, and pounded the shoulders of Wei and Liao, and said with a smile: "Wen Chang, Yuan Jian, you have fought beautifully in this battle! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Hehe...!" Wei Yan scratched his head and replied with a chuckle: "It's better for the general to plan properly. We are just following your plan!"

"Your credit is naturally recognized! We are military men, so we don't need to learn from those scholars to give in to the humbleness of the literati. Before I set out from Lujiang, I ordered a quick horse to go to Shouchun and ask for merit for you and the two of you!" I said with a smile.

"Thank you, General!" Wei Yan and Liao Hua looked extremely excited and immediately bowed to me.

"Okay, get up!" I helped them up with one hand, "Don't mess with mother-in-law!"

"Well~!" Wei Yan stood up, smiled and nodded, and then asked, "General, you seem to have only half of your brothers transported here!"

"Well! There are not enough ships. This time, only 4,000 people came. There are still 4,000 people in Lujiang, so we can only transport them again!" I nodded and said, "But we can't wait until the army and horses are assembled before attacking! The so-called speed of soldiers is the most important. Before the Jiangdong Army detects and reacts, we must capture several cities and half counties of his county! Yuan Jian! Do the Langya Camp still have the strength to fight again?"

"General, don't worry! The wolf teeth camp has been resting for a long time and can fight at any time!" Liao Hua said simply and neatly.
