"Haha, haha!" Sun Ce had settled down with the help of Lu Meng on the shore. He smiled bitterly at the battle report in front of him. The 60,000 troops came out, and now there were less than 6,000 people who were rescued, and many of them were burned. Even if these 6,000 Jiangdong naval troops were brought back, it would be difficult to restore their original elite nature.

Because they were completely scared, the fire completely scared these elite troops in Jiangdong. Now many people, those men who fought bravely on the battlefield and were not afraid of death, are now trembling.

"Lord, I'm sorry!" Lu Meng stepped forward and whispered to Sun Ce. Most of the 60,000 soldiers were burned to death. This has to be said to be a kind of irony. The Yangtze River is below, but it was still burned to death because the fire was too big. Even those who jumped into the water were either swept into the bottom of the Yangtze River by the whirlpool of the shipwreck or were frozen to death by the cold Yangtze River water.

The energy consumption in the cold river water is already very high, and you are just thinking about swimming back to the shore by yourself. This battle can be said that the Jiangdong Army is completely disabled.

"It's all over, it's all over!" Sun Ce's mouth was full of bitterness. His Jiangdong foundation and his Jiangdongerlang were all left!

"Brother, you still have us!" Zhou Yu stepped forward to comfort Sun Ce.

"Haha!" Sun Ce did not refute or agree, but just smiled self-deprecatingly, "Gongjin, I'm tired. I'll teach you here!" Sun Ce said this and entered the tent and went to the bed. He closed his eyes. He didn't want to see all this in front of him. He was escaping reality.

"Oh!" Zhou Yu could only shake his head helplessly, and then took Lu Meng out of the tent.

"Grandmaster, lord?" Lu Meng pointed to Sun Ce in the tent and asked Zhou Yudao.

"Let the lord rest! Let's go. Settle the six thousand soldiers and horses. Let's go back to Kuaiji!" Zhou Yu said to Lu Meng.

"Return to Kuaiji? Then what about Jiangxia?" Lu Meng was stunned for a moment. You should know that the Wuhu generation here already belonged to Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu and his Jiangdong naval army were originally stationed in the Wuchang and Sanjiangkou Huangzhou generations in Jiangxia.

"Zi Ming, do you think we can still hold Jiangxia now?" At that time, the Jiangdong Army could not take Jiangxia. Now, there are only 6,000 elite troops left. What should we use to occupy Jiangxia? The remaining territory cannot be defended. Zhou Yu needs time now, he needs to return to Kuaiji. He will sign the soldiers to form the Jiangdong Navy again, and he will use space to exchange time. Not only Jiangxia is the only one who wants it. Even Jiujiang, he is ready to be out of defense, and he only hopes that the Jingzhou and Yangzhou coalition forces can leave them a way out.

This is the case in Jiangdong, so Jingzhou is so good!

Wenpin left faster than Sun Ce, because when the Jingzhou naval army was infighting, Wenpin knew that everything was over. His Jingzhou naval army was originally weaker than the Jiangdong army. Wenpin discovered from the Jiangdong army that the Jiangdong army was not honest, and there were more Jiangdong soldiers hidden in those warships. Look at this, he was preparing to capture all the Jingzhou soldiers and horses in one go.

Knowing that things were not violated, Wen Pin left. He looked at the huge fire fiercely. The 30,000 troops he brought out and the direct troops of Jingzhou were completely finished now. The Jiangdong Army could rescue 6,000 people, and the only six lieutenants left in the Jingzhou naval army was left.

"Lord, lord, Wenpin is sorry for you, I'm sorry for you! After defeat today, Wenpin has no face to meet you again. You can only apologize if you die. Take care of me!" Wenpin pulled out the sword on his waist and was about to wipe it on his neck.

"General, no, no!" The several lieutenants next to him were almost scared to death. Wen Pin didn't dare to go back to see his lord Liu Biao. Could it be that they would dare to go back? He originally wanted to follow Wen Pin to go back to Jingzhou, even if his lord Liu Biao wanted to punish him, Wen Pin was guilty. After all, you are the lord.

So they cannot let Wen Pin die. If Wen Pin apologizes for his death, who will go back to take the blame for the defeat this time? They will catch Wen Pin one by one and not let Wen Pin have the urge to seek death.

"Don't stop me, don't stop me! Let me die, let me die!" Wen Pin shouted loudly.

"General, you can't. If you die, what will happen to my Jingzhou navy!"

"The Jingzhou Navy is over!" There are only six Jingzhou Navy under the fire, which is still the entire army is wiped out?

"It's endless, we still have troops in Xiakou!" Someone suddenly reminded Wen Pin.

"Xiakou? Jiangxia soldiers?" Wen Pin was stunned for a moment, but it would be fine if the captain didn't mention Jiangxia soldiers. When he mentioned this Jiangxia soldiers, Wen Pin immediately wanted to kill people. If it weren't for the Jiangxia soldiers, his Jingzhou navy would have had internal conflicts? Now he wouldn't have been burned to pieces by a fire.

"By the way, General, have you noticed why the Jiangxia soldiers over there are conflicts with us?" asked a captain next to him.

"What else can there be? The general asked them to stand by and prepare to return to the new Yangzhou naval warship with the Jiangdong Army, but they kept ordering and then the conflict broke out!"

"No, it seems that those Jiangxia troops did not allow us to board their warships." Someone found a little clue.

"If the general just set fire, it would be impossible for him to be so big. The wind in the river today is not very strong."

"What do you mean?" Wen Pin was also in deep thought.

"Everyone, have you ever seen the military advisor Zhuge Liang?" asked the captain who found the clue.

"Military Advisor Zhuge? Isn't Military Advisor Zhuge in the Jiangdong Army? Oh no, what should I do!" Wen Pin was even more sad. It would be fine if the 30,000 soldiers were lost. Now Zhuge Liang, the military advisor general, is gone. Zhuge Liang is a member of Lumen Academy. If he dies, Wen Pin will be even more blameless.

"General, I accidentally discovered it while running away. The Jiangxia army's warships were loaded with Jiangxia soldiers!"

"What is it if it's not Jiang Xiabing?"

"It's fire material! There is hay and sulfur." ​​The captain said earnestly.

"Sulphur?" The captain reminded me that someone else was reminded by him. "Yes, I smell the scent of sulfur too!" If you hide it alone in the cabin, you can cover it to prevent the smell from flowing out, but once it catches on fire, it will not stop the circulation of air.

"The fire on the river surface cannot be released by the Jiangdong Army. Then there is only one!" The Captain Chaga said halfway. Wen Pin immediately took it over. The Jiangxia soldiers were brought by Zhuge Liang.

'Are you saying that Zhuge Military Advisor wanted me to hurt me?' Wen Pin said with wide eyes. But he was soon rejected by himself. "Impossible. The military advisor came out of Lumen Academy and was a disciple of Pang Gong and Mr. Shui Jing. How could he have such a villain's behavior!" If Zhuge Liang wanted to hurt him, Wen Pin, he just wanted the position of Jiangxia General. However, although Zhuge Liang was only a military advisor general, his reputation among the Jiangxia army was higher than Wen Pin. Even if Zhuge Liang didn't say it, Wen Pin was ready to end the battle, just like the lord Liu Biao recommended Zhuge Liang to be the general. He Wen Pin attacked Zhuge Liang.

"No, no, General, Military Advisor Zhuge may not be harming you, but dealing with Jiangdong Army!"

"What's the meaning?"

The captain explained to Wen Pin, "Although we have lost 30,000 elite troops, it will be different if you look at it from the other way around!"

"in turn?"

"Although the general, the Jingzhou navy lost 30,000 elite troops, who lost more in this fire?"

"Of course it's the Jiangdong Navy!" Although the subordinates of the Jingzhou Navy Wen Pin suffered heavy losses, there were only three people left in the 30,000 elite troops given to him by his lord Liu Biao. However, no matter how miserable Sun Ce was, he was not as miserable as Sun Ce. This directly lost his old capital. The 60,000 army was burned into a turtle soup in one move. No one could compare to Sun Ce in Jiangdong.

"Our army lost 30,000, but the Jiangdong Navy lost 60,000 troops. It can be regarded as most of his elite troops in Jiangdong. General, do you think we have won?" The words of this lieutenant made the eyes of other lieutenants on the side begin to shine red.

Yes, although we died 30,000 people, the Jiangdong Army died 60,000 people. This is a profit.

"But our current enemy is the Yangzhou navy!" If it were half a month ago, there would be a great victory, and 30,000 soldiers and 60,000 Jiangdong navy Wen Pin could smile when he was sleeping, but now Liu Biao ordered it to join forces with Jiangdong troops to attack the Yangzhou navy, but now the Yangzhou navy ran away, and the Jiangdong navy was in trouble.

"Although the general, Yangzhou navy, escaped, their warship general, also saw it, and was seriously injured. It was difficult for at least several months after this battle, so the general was still victorious in this battle. Besides, the Yangzhou army could not threaten our Jingzhou no matter what, and the Jiangdong navy is different. The little overlord Sun Ce is a wolfish ambition. Our Lord also killed Sun Ce's father Sun Jian. The revenge of killing his father is irreconcilable!" The captain next to persuaded Wen Pin.

"Yes, yes, General, we didn't lose this battle, we won!" The other few people were also in line. After all, losing or going back to Jingzhou is completely different. If you lose, you will be worried and ask someone to find a relationship. If you ask your grandpa to be a grandma, it depends on the lord's mood. If your lord is in a good mood, you can still go back alive. If your lord is in a bad mood, then you won't say that you will continue to be a lieutenant. You will not be able to save your life and will also implicate your family.

If you win, even if you lose 30,000 troops, you can still get rewards and promotions. For these lieutenants, the soldiers are just a number. If you lose someone, you can tell them again. Just spend some money on those mud legs.

"Then let's go back to Xiakou!" If it was really as these lieutenants said, Wenpin had really made contributions, so Wenpin was going back to Xiakou first to see what Zhuge Military Advisor thought.

"General, we can't go to Xiakou! Instead, we should go to Xiangyang directly!" The captain explained to Wen Pin.

"Why?" Wen Pin asked in confusion. Wen Pin does have a military strategy, but he is a novice in politics.

The lieutenant next to him can't say that he went back to Xiangyang early and took the credit for the first time. If he went too late, the credit for destroying Jiangdong's troops and defeating the Yangzhou navy was not his Wenpin. At most, he could even offset the merits and demerits of Xiangyang's direct troops who lost 30,000 elite troops, which was 15,000. In this way, they would lose a lot.

However, although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't say it out loud. Fortunately, the other gentry disciples next to me had figured it out clearly.

"General, we need to go back to Xiangyang immediately to report to our lord. Otherwise, if the fire in Manjiang is misunderstood, that would be bad!" If the lord gets the wrong information, then it would be bad. The lord is old and cannot tolerate fright.

They all speak like loyal ministers in Jingzhou.

Wen Pin also nodded. A wrong intelligence may make many wrong decisions. If the lord believes that this battle was defeated by Wen Pin, and finally asked for guilt, or retreated from Jiangxia for fear of revenge by the Yangzhou army, that would be really bad.

"Okay, let's go directly to Xiangyang!" Wenpin nodded. Several people found a boat along the Yangtze River and headed directly towards Xiangyang.

...

In Xiangyang, a group of Xiangyang civil and military officials were among the palaces of Liu Biao.

Because this morning, an information was sent from Jiangxia, that is, the fire in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River was surging, and it could be seen within a radius of dozens of miles, and because it was almost late for get off work, it was even more dazzling.

Not to mention other people, even the merchants who came and went, they knew it, so Liu Biao summoned a group of civil and military officials to prepare for discussion. He wanted to know what was going on.

But the following people and military officials were all wondering about it, which made Liu Biao's heart almost sink.

"Father, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are so hot. It must be the military's work. Today, our Jingzhou and Jiangdong coalition forces should have fought a decisive battle with the Yangzhou navy. But the information from Xiakou has been delayed, isn't it?" Liu Pan was the first to take the blame. Because Liu Pan wanted to take control of military power, the one who stood in front of him was a literary recruit. Huang Zu went to Changsha. The current team is the old capital of the Huang family, so he didn't want to give it to him, because those people were not well-equipped.

Cai Mao also had 30,000 military power in his hands, but under Zhang Yun's command, he never came to Xiangyang, but refused to leave in Fancheng, saying that he wanted to practice. Therefore, even if Cai Mao was seized as a military advisor, Liu Pan could not get military power.

Then the only thing left is Wen Pin. The 70,000 Jingzhou naval troops in Wen Pin's hands in Jiangxia made him salivate.

So if you want to get the military power, you must kick Wen Pin away. This defeat is an opportunity.

Hearing Liu Pan's gloating voice, a big "loyal minister" in Jingzhou said, "Lord, is there any military affairs in this fire everywhere? Is it still defeated? Second young master, do you understand military affairs?"

Huang She always slandered himself, and Liu Pan also saw that military affairs? Haha, Liu Pan sneered. Even if he didn't understand military affairs, he was better than Huang She, a playboy. What's more, if he didn't understand military affairs, how could Liu Pan command his 20,000 elite troops?

"Brother Huang said I don't understand military affairs? So I ask how the fire came about. You can't tell me that the Yangzhou army's warships were burned, right? There were only twenty warships in total that had such a big fire?" The fires in the sky were seen dozens of miles away. It was said that it was very strong. All twenty warships were dismantled and fired.

"This is not necessarily the case. Just like some people, you have to take thousands of soldiers to catch someone and finally burn the entire mountain with fire. That fire is much larger than this!" Huang She smiled at Liu Pan sarcastically.

"You!" Liu Pan became popular. As the saying goes, "Don't slap people in the face, and curse people without kissing them. Huang Xiu directly uncovered Liu Pan's scars. Last time he arrested King Liu Mang of Shu, Liu Pan swears to catch him. He thought he was sure to win and gave Jingshan points, but in the end he went back in shame. This became a big joke in Xiangyang City.

Now the three-year-old child in Xiangyang City knows a proverb called the Second Young Master Shaoshan - a waste of time.

"Okay, OK! Let's say less, wait for the spy who went to spy back before talking about it!" The place where the pissing fire was in Jiangdong, so it is necessary to be careful when sending spies.

Just when Liu Biao was a little dizzy and was about to leave, a personal guard ran in and said, "Report to the lord, General Wen Pinwen asked for a meeting."

"Wen Pin?" The name came out and the audience was in an uproar. Liu Biao repeated it. He was on the front line, why did he come back? Could it be?

"Haha, I just said that the fire must be related to General Wen. Is General Wen coming back to bring reinforcements?" Liu Pan's words were full of thorns. What does it mean to bring reinforcements mean to be defeated in the war. Just like World War II, a small notebook could not be defeated. He was embarrassed to say that he could not be defeated, but to ask for tactical guidance, which was actually to cover himself with a fig leaf and defeat the battle. Just ask for reinforcements.

"Let Wenpin come in!" Liu Biao sat down again. Soon Wenpin and others were brought up by Liu Biao's personal guards.

Liu Biao's brows frowned as soon as he came up. Because Wen Pin and others looked so embarrassed.

Can this be blamed on Wenpin? They dared to come all the way and didn't dare to rest. When they entered Xiangyang City, they came to the state palace without even entering their homes. This kind of professionalism is touching.

"I will pay homage to Wenpin to the lord!" Wenpin walked in and saw the civil and military officials in Xiangyang kneeling down immediately, and several lieutenants behind him also knelt down.

"General Wenpin, why are you so embarrassed?" Liu Pan looked at Wenpin in surprise. Liu Biao spoke without looking at him.

"Who is this?" Wen Pin has never seen this Liu Pan and the second young master Liu who has been fighting abroad for many years.

"This is my son Liu Pan!" If it were the past, Liu Biao would definitely introduce Wen Pin, but Liu Biao was not in this mood today.

"Second Young Master!" Wen Pin then realized who this person was, hugging Liu Pan, holding his fists and politely said.

But it is obvious that Liu Pan doesn't like this one.

"Report to the lord, Wen Pin dared to come from Wuhu for a long distance. He didn't dare to rest for several days and stayed day and night, so he was so embarrassed!" Wen Pin explained to Liu Biao.

"General Wenpin, where are your soldiers? Are there just a few?" Liu Pan's current position is the military advisor of Jingzhou. The city defense was also taught by Liu Biao to his second son, so Liu Pan naturally knew whether the army came outside the city.

Wen Pin and others came back empty-handed, so Liu Pan naturally knew about it.
