The news of the Jiangxia army's great victory in Yangxin County reached Chibi, which immediately caused a jubilation in the Jiangxia army. Although the Jiangxia army had recorded many defeats of Cao army, this time it had special significance. It greatly boosted the morale of the Jiangxia army and the Jiangdong army, and made the balance of this North-South battle begin to be biased towards the Southern Alliance.

At noon that day, Huang Zhong arrived at the Chibi Camp with 6,000 prisoners of war willing to surrender to the Jiangxia Army. The gates were wide open, and Liu Jing personally went out to welcome Huang Zhong's arrival.

Outside the camp, Huang Zhong led 6,000 people in line. When Liu Jing walked out of the camp, Huang Zhong immediately stepped forward a few steps and knelt down on one knee to salute, "I am humble to Huang Zhong, pay homage to the governor of the state."

Liu Jing quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "The veteran general is not old yet, he won the battle and won the biggest victory at the lowest price. He is worthy of being the number one general in Jingzhou."

"The state governor is too famous. How can Han be promoted? How can he be called the number one general in Jingzhou?"

Huang Zhong said in a humble manner, and pulled Mayan up and introduced: "This is General Mayan, and he is willing to serve the governor of the state."

Ma Yan quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I am not in charge of Ma Yan to meet the provincial governor."

Wei Yan's eyes next to him suddenly burst into anger. He also looked at Huang Zhong's military apology. Ma Yan killed Zhu Ling because of personal grudges. He didn't understand why Huang Zhong didn't kill this person on the spot and even accepted his surrender. Such people killed the master general for their own selfishness, and would never tolerate it, regardless of whether it was the enemy or not.

Wei Yan looked at Liu Jing and gave Liu Jing a few winks. He hoped that Liu Jing's face would sink. Not to mention killing Ma Yan, he should at least scold Ma Yan fiercely. Unexpectedly, Liu Jing seemed to have not seen his abnormal expression. He stepped forward and smiled and helped Ma Yan up. "I heard that General Ma has become famous for a long time. General Ma is willing to serve Jiang Xia, and Liu Jing will never let General Ma down."

Ma Yan was overjoyed and said with a fist: "Ma Yan is honored to serve the governor of the state."

Liu Jing patted his shoulder, comforted him a few words, and walked to thousands of soldiers. Huang Zhong smiled and said, "A total of more than 17,000 people were captured. These 6,000 people were willing to join the Jiangxia army and serve the provincial governor. The remaining prisoners of war were taken to Chaisang by General Huo Jun."

Huang Zhong raised his hand high, and six thousand soldiers knelt down and bowed together. His movements were neat and uniform, and his voice resounded throughout the sky, "See the governor of the state"

Liu Jing walked up to a high platform with a smile and waved his hand, "Brothers, please get up."

Six thousand soldiers stood up again, lined up neatly, silent and solemnly, Liu Jing said to the soldiers loudly: "Brothers, welcome everyone to join the Jiangxia Army. The Jiangxia Army is a rule-abiding army with strict military discipline and clear rewards and punishments. If you are afraid of death and shrink, there will be no reward and no promotion. If you retreat at the last minute, you may even become a deserter and behead them according to the military discipline."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing's stern voice eased, "But if you fight and work hard, you will receive rewards, promotions, land, and sufficient military rations. If you are unfortunately killed, your family will receive generous pensions, enough to allow the fallen brothers to rest in peace in the nine springs..."

Six thousand soldiers were silent, and everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and expectation. Liu Jing laughed at this time, "Brothers, you can enter the camp now. Welcome to your new home."

The team began to line up into the camp, and Liu Jing and Huang Zhong walked into the camp gate. Wei Yan was a little disappointed. Zhou Mu actually accepted Ma Yan. He couldn't help but glared at Ma Yan's back with resentment, feeling depressed.

At this time, Jia Xu walked to him and asked with a smile: "General Wei seems to be in a bad mood, why is this?"

Wei Yan sighed, "A man who is guilty of his superiors, who is unfaithful and unfaithful, Zhou Mu actually accepted him with joy, which is dissatisfaction."

"Is the governor full of joy?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I didn't see him happy, I only saw a smile on his face."

Wei Yan was stunned, and he suddenly felt a little reflexive, "Sir, is the governor of the state just pretending to behave and give General Huang a face?"

"Did General Wei not realize that the governor of Zhou did one less thing to that person?" Jia Xu smiled and walked quickly.

Wei Yan frowned and thought to himself: "What did you do less?"

After walking a few steps, Wei Yan suddenly realized that the provincial governor should have introduced Ma Yan to other generals, but he did not introduce it. This shows that the provincial governor was also dissatisfied with Ma Yan, but it was just a hindrance to Huang Zhong, or because the war was about to come, he did not turn against him on the spot.

Wei Yan sighed in his heart, and he was increasingly unable to understand the governor of the state. At this time, a soldier from Liu Jing rushed over and bowed: "General Wei, governor of the state, please come over."

Wei Yan didn't understand why Liu Jing was looking for him, so he hurriedly walked towards the central army's tent, and immediately a soldier reported to the tent: "Qi Bizhou Governor, General Wei is here."

"Please come in"

Wei Yan walked into the big tent, Liu Jing was standing in front of the map and examining something Wei Yan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See the governor of the state"

Liu Jing looked at him and smiled and said, "I am looking for you to tell you something. I plan to give you Ma Yan and be your general."

Although the Jiangxia army's great victory in Yangxin County greatly boosted the morale of the coalition army, it was not very joyful for Zhou Yu. He felt a little sour. The Jiangxia army had won several battles, but the Jiangdong army did not fight in one battle, let alone defeating Cao's army and achieving a great victory.

Zhou Yu felt very sour, and at the same time, he was also a little anxious. Before returning to Jiangdong, Wu Hou specifically told him that although he was a coalition army, the Jiangdong army could not fall behind Jiangxia and could not become a vassal and foil of the Jiangxia army. It was related to future division of interests, and the Jiangdong army must also make achievements.

Wu Hou's words were still echoing in his ears, but Jiang Xia's army won the battle in a blink of an eye, which made Zhou Yu's face dim and made him feel guilty about Wu Hou. He could no longer do anything.

Zhou Yu was paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back. At this time, Lu Su appeared at the door of the tent and said with a smile: "The governor seems to be in a bad mood."

"Hey, do you think I'm in a good mood?"

Zhou Yu sighed depressedly: "Wu Hou hopes that we will not lose to Jiangxia Army, but I am passive now. Respect, what should I do?"

Lu Su walked into the tent and smiled and said, "Actually, the war has not begun yet. Now it is just a few sporadic battles. When the war begins, we will deploy the battle well. It will be too late at that time. The governor doesn't have to be so anxious now."

Zhou Yu sighed. It was useless to be anxious. He had to have a chance. At this time, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something and asked: "Last time I asked you to inquire about the secret weapons of Jiangxia Army, but what news is there?"

A few days ago, when Zhou Yu talked to Liu Jing about the war against Cao's army, he mentioned that the northwest wind in winter was not conducive to the coalition fleet crossing the Yangtze River north, but Liu Jing smiled and said that the Jiangxia army had secret weapons, which made Zhou Yu quite puzzled. He wanted to know what the secret weapon of the Jiangxia army was.

Lu Su shook his head, "I asked Gan Ning privately, but he said he didn't know."

"How is it possible"

Zhou Yu sneered, "Gan Ning is the chief general of the Jiangxia Army. How could he not know? He just doesn't want to tell you."

Lu Su smiled bitterly, "Maybe since it is called a secret weapon, it will not be easily known to outsiders."

Zhou Yu sighed and said angrily: "Since Liu Jing valued Ma Jun, various new weapons emerged one after another. I also persuaded the lord to use Yue craftsman more and follow Jiangxia to establish craftsmen in Dongwu City. However, Zhang Zhao's group of people opposed it and said that valuing business craftsmen and neglecting Confucianism was a reversal of the cart. It was simply a theory of misleading the country. However, Wu Hou was also ambiguous and afraid of offending those ministers. It was really annoying. After the war ended, I must persuade Wu Hou to not be deceived by corrupt Confucianism."

Lu Su smiled bitterly and speechlessly. At this time, Huang Gai's voice came from outside the tent, "Governor, report to me if you have something to do."

Zhou Yu nodded, "Please come in"

Huang Gai quickly walked into the tent and bowed and said, "Report to the Governor, there is a south wind today. I am willing to lead the five elite soldiers of the headquarters to march into the Cao army's water camp by a small boat, and grab the flag to cheer for the Jiangdong army."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, "Public republic is worthy of being the pillar of Jiangdong, and you are allowed to fight."

Lu Su felt that it was inappropriate. How could the Jiangdong Army act alone when they first went to fight? This did not conform to the agreement between the two armies' joint combat. He was about to persuade Zhou Yu to be cautious, but Zhou Yu waved his hand, "Don't advise me. The public rebuttal is to fight for the honor of the Jiangdong Army. He hesitated to do things. It is not what a real man does. Go to fight immediately."

"What the governor said is that a humble position will never be embarrassing the Jiangdong Army."

Huang Gai bowed and walked out quickly. Zhou Yu was full of expectations. He immediately ordered: "Prepare the boat and wait for me to watch the battle."

Huang Gai was still nervously preparing for war. A flying pigeon had already flew out of the Jiangxia army camp and flew towards Wulin on the other side. Liu Jing stood in front of the camp with his hands behind his back and watched the flying pigeon silently go away. He was looking forward to Zhang Ji's success.

.........

"Please inform me of the miracle doctor Zhongjing, I am his medicine boy, so I'm here to deliver medicine to him."

Outside the north gate of Cao's military camp, a young man with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old appearance and a pair of buns was shouting loudly to the defenders in the camp, and behind him was a small donkey.

Although the Cao army soldiers were a little strange, how could this boy come from Wulin, because Zhang Ji's status in the Cao army camp was like a god, the Cao army soldiers did not dare to neglect and ran into the camp.

After a moment, the camp gate opened and Zhang Ji came out with a general of Cao Jun. This is the rule. Zhang Ji could see his medicine boy directly, and his children could come from Wulin inexplicably. These can be tolerated, but at least they must be accompanied by a general of Cao Jun. This is the greatest freedom that Cao Cao can give. Of course, he must give it.

The medicine boy stepped forward and handed a medicine bag to Zhang Ji, "The medicine the master wants is all inside."

"I understand, go"

The medicine boy rode on the donkey and shouted twice. The donkey headed north, and the direction of Huarong Road was on the other side.
