Looking at Cao Ren's body, Long Fei actually smiled. Xu Huang and Guan Hai, who were kneeling on the ground, were a little confused and looked at each other.
"Under Cao Cao, these Cao brothers are the worst. First, Cao Hong made brother Xu Chu homeless, and then Cao Ren almost killed me in Yecheng!" Long Fei waved his hand and asked someone to carry the dead body down: "Now
Even if one person dies, it can be considered as eliminating harm for the people!"
Xu Huang and Guan Hai let out a sigh of relief. Dian Wei pulled Guan Hai up and said, "You're a good boy! You killed one of Cao Cao's generals with one move! Do you have to treat me to a drink tonight?" Long Fei turned around and looked.
Looking at Dian Wei, Dian Wei quickly changed his words: "No, not tonight, wait until we get back! Hehehehe."
Xu Shu quickly said: "What do you plan to do with Cao Ren's body, my lord? Cao Cao will definitely send someone to get it."
Long Fei sighed: "In the battle at Hebin Village, three thousand of us heroes died in a foreign land. They all died for Jingzhou. Since I can't take them back alive, their bodies must be buried where heroes should go.
We can’t let them wander outside.”
As soon as these words came out, the entire camp became extremely quiet, and even the noisiest Dian Wei became a lot quieter.
Zhou Yu nodded: "The soldiers of the Dragon Army are willing to sacrifice their lives. General Quan Nailong is so kind and worthy of our learning!"
Zhou Yu's words are not flattery. Jiang Dong himself has obviously felt that there have been great changes since Sun Ce's death. Not only is the kindness of sharing weal and woe gone, but there is also more suspicion and hostility between people. Even the last
Good friends can't let go even if they talk now. Zhou Yu is a person who values loyalty. When Sun Ce raised his army, Zhou Yu was already the chief of the nest. His family was rich and he had thousands of troops under his command. It was because of his friendship with Sun Ce.
, and then followed Sun Ce to conquer the east and west without hesitation. Now Zhou Yu is very uncomfortable with the life in Jiangdong.
Cao Cao's army suffered heavy losses again after Hebin Village. This time, not only were all 10,000 soldiers wiped out, but one of the two generals was killed and the other was missing. Cao Cao really regretted not listening to Dong Zhao's words, but it was too late to say this now. Cao Cao secretly
He wiped his tears and said: "Jiang Ji! You will go to Sanjiangkou early tomorrow morning and bring back Zixiao's body!"
Jiang Ji nodded quickly. Cao Cao ordered Mao Jie to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses along the Xiangshui River to search for Yu Jin's whereabouts. No matter whether they were dead or alive, they must find him. After experiencing this failure, the morale of Cao's army was once again low, and the soldiers in Jingling City became
I became lazy, and the drills no longer screamed like before. Even the craftsmen who built the warships seemed tired, and they all worked feebly.
Cao Cao walked around the city twice and felt the problem of morale, but he was unable to do anything. If he couldn't win a battle at this time, it would be even more difficult to cross the river, but where to start? He had to make a good guess.
!
Jiang Ji was ordered to go to Sanjiangkou to retrieve Cao Ren's body. Before he reached the camp of Long Fei's army, heart-wrenching cries could be heard from inside. Starting from the gate of the camp, all the soldiers were wearing filial piety, even the weapons in their hands.
The weapons were also wrapped with white cloth. Jiang Ji was a little dazed. He looked around and saw that there was no problem. The Dragon Army had won great victories both times. It should have been a celebration, but how could the entire army show filial piety.
Jiang Gan, who was ordered to greet Jiang Ji at the gate of the village, was also dressed in filial piety. Jiang Ji hurriedly handed over his hand: "Brother Ziyi, what is this?"
"Hey!" Jiang Gan sighed: "Our army suffered heavy losses in this battle. Three thousand soldiers were killed. The corpses are still cold. We don't even know if they can be buried in the ground. My lord has no choice but to order a funeral for three thousand sons in this camp.
Starting from the lord, all soldiers and horses must show filial piety!"
Jiang Ji felt awkward in his heart, but he couldn't say anything nonsense, and said hurriedly: "Brother Ziyi, my condolences, you will die in a war, there is nothing anyone can do!"
"Hmph!" Jiang Gan snorted coldly: "If Cao Cao hadn't led his troops south, how would our army have suffered such losses? You guys still dare to come, are you here to laugh at us?"
"Brother Ziyi, why do you say that?" It was obvious that Long Fei deliberately did this to embarrass himself. If Long Fei suffered heavy losses, then his own losses were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and only in the battle of Hebin Village
, he lost 30,000 yuan, not to mention the loss of one general. However, Jiang Ji had a request and could not say more. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I misunderstood. There is indeed something important to discuss with General Long this time. I must not
No mocking intended!”
Under the leadership of Jiang Gan, Jiang Ji entered the Chinese army's tent. Along the way, the soldiers standing guard on both sides glared angrily. Jiang Ji felt uncomfortable all over and even walked. When he lifted the curtain of the tent, what caught his eye was
A huge mourning hall. A memorial tablet as tall as one person stands high above, using Long Fei's handsome table. On both sides stood the generals of the Long Army and Jiangdong Army, all wearing hemp and mourning. Ling Tong knelt in front of the mourning hall and shed tears.
Fall down.
"Don't drive Mr. Jiang Ji to Jizhou..." Someone shouted loudly, and Jiang Ji had to go in even if he didn't want to. Everyone in the tent looked at him. Jiang Ji had to take off his shoes and enter the account in a polite manner.
He bowed deeply in the mourning hall. Jiang Qian handed over three long incense sticks. Jiang Ji hurriedly took them and gently inserted them into the incense burner in front of the memorial tablet. There was another sound of sadness.
After Jiang Ji finished paying his respects, he looked back at Jiang Gan. Jiang Gan nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation. When the account was handed out, Jiang Ji hurriedly asked: "Why don't you see General Long?"
Jiang Qiandao: "My lord is too sad and has fainted many times. He is resting in the back tent. Even so, he has not forgotten Mr. Jiang's matter. He has already given instructions that if Mr. Jiang comes to discuss matters of any size, he can discuss it with the military advisor Guo Jia!"
Jiang Ji nodded hurriedly. Before the two of them walked down the steps of the central military tent, Guo Jia came out of the tent waving a feather fan and saluted Jiang Gan and Jiang Ji: "This way, please!" After that, no one said.
Jiang Ji walked straight to the tent next to him. Jiang Ji quickly glanced at Jiang Gan and followed him hurriedly without waiting for Jiang Gan's reply.
This tent is much smaller than the Chinese military tent. There is a bed in the corner of the tent. Facing the entrance of the tent, a small table is placed there, with a guqin placed on it, and the green smoke is floating in the air.
Slowly rising from the incense burner next to it, a light and elegant fragrance came to my nose, and now it smelled particularly uncomfortable. Guo Jia was sitting behind the small table, and there were no cushions on either side.
Jiang Gan stepped aside, and Jiang Ji quickly handed over his hand: "Mr. Guo is polite, I am here on the order of the general. I hope General Long can return General Zuo's body. I don't know..."
"Hmph!" Guo Jia snorted coldly: "Cao Ren killed my soldiers and is hostile to us. We can't wait to cut him into pieces. There is no need to discuss this matter. Cao Ren will never return it!"
"Sir!" Jiang Ji took two steps.
Guo Jia waved his hand: "No need to say more, Brother Ziyi, let's see the guests off!"
Jiang Gan was about to step forward, but Jiang Ji hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Mr. Guo, can you listen to what I have to say? I have a plan to get the best of both worlds. Please listen to it, Mr. Guo!"
Jiang Gan also said: "The military advisor might as well listen. If Mr. Jiang can come, he must be sincere!"
"Hmph!" Guo Jia snorted coldly: "Go ahead! I want to see what Cao Cao gives in exchange for Cao Ren!"
Jiang Ji hurriedly said: "Both our army and your army suffered injuries in this battle. This is how fighting is. There are no undead people. Please also ask Mr. Guo to tell General Long to express his condolences. My lord has come to my house this time."
Tell me, as long as General Long agrees to return the bones of General Zuo, my lord is willing to bury and return all the Jingzhou soldiers and horses who died in Hebin Village. In this way, both my lord and General Long can let their brothers rest in peace!"
Guo Jia did not answer, his expression remained serious. Jiang Qian said: "This is a way, but our soldiers have been exposed in Hebin Village for too long, I'm afraid..."
Before Jiang Gan finished speaking, Jiang Ji immediately said: "Brother Yi, don't worry about this. My lord has already ordered people to make coffins overnight and bury the bones of the three thousand soldiers in Jingzhou and return them! Since then, General Long has
It also reduces some worries.”
Jiang Gan nodded: "This is indeed a good idea, but three thousand corpses require three thousand coffins. Hebin Village is a wilderness, full of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. I'm afraid that three thousand coffins have not been built.
That’s right, those soldiers are already mutilated!”
"Brother Ziyi, don't worry! As long as you two agree, I will immediately go back and report to my lord. Those civilians who are building warships will stop building ships first and build coffins for the Jingzhou soldiers. In ten days, no, in five days, the bones of the three thousand Jingzhou soldiers will definitely be destroyed.
Send it!"
Guo Jiadao: "Cao Cao is treacherous, how can we believe everything he says! In this case, let's make an exchange. After Cao Cao returns the three thousand coffins together with the bones of my Jingzhou soldiers, it won't be too late for us to send Cao Ren's body back!"
"This..." Jiang Ji was a little embarrassed. With Cao Cao's temper, the possibility of doing this was relatively small. He hated Long Fei so much that he couldn't collect the corpse for the Jingzhou army.
Guo Jia stood up slowly: "You two, since the matter has been decided, Ziyi and Jiang Biejia will have full authority to handle this matter. If there is nothing else, please go back."
Jiang Ji wanted to say more, but was grabbed by Jiang Gan and dragged out of the door. It seemed that Jiang Gan was helping him, but in fact Jiang Ji also understood that this was just a trick of Long Fei to exchange for Cao Ren.
The 3,000 soldiers and horses he lost in the battle at Hebin Village were just a double act between Jiang Gan and Guo Jia. But this matter has not yet been accepted. If Cao Cao wants to return Cao Ren's body, he has to look at Long Fei's face.
Jiang Ji and Jiang Gan quickly reached an agreement according to Guo Jia's words. Jiang Gan personally sent Jiang Ji out of the house and repeatedly told him to persuade Cao Cao and not to miss important events.
Looking at the agreement brought back by Jiang Ji, Cao Cao slapped his palm on several cases: "Long Fei is simply too deceitful! I will never agree to this matter!"
Jiang Ji quickly said: "Lord, calm down, if you don't return those three thousand soldiers to Long Fei, General Cao will never come back!"
"Hey!" Dong Zhao sighed and shook his head slightly. Cao Pi on the side said quickly: "Father, uncle is the pillar of our army. He fights for our army in the east and west. He cannot die like a lonely ghost. Those three thousand Jingzhou soldiers
How important is my uncle’s rest! Father is still..."
"Bastard!" Cao Cao was furious: "You have no right to speak here. If Long Fei died, three thousand people must be mourned by the whole army. We have lost tens of thousands of soldiers. I will never agree to this!"
