After hearing Wang Feng's words, Liu Xiu bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Cheng, for reminding me. I will be careful in the end!"
Wang Feng nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Wen, go get ready!"
"I'll say goodbye!"
Liu Xiu turned around and was about to leave when Wang Feng suddenly thought of something and stopped him again and said, "I am returning to Xinye this time. Does Uncle Wen have any letters that I need to deliver?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu immediately understood what Wang Feng meant, turned slightly red, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "No need, I have already asked someone to deliver the letter."
Wang Feng nodded in understanding, smiled meaningfully at Liu Xiu, and praised: "Uncle Wen's movements are quite fast. It seems that I am worrying too much!"
Regardless of whether Wang Feng was worrying blindly or not, Liu Xiu was very grateful that he could think about this matter. Liu Xiu bowed his hands and saluted again, then turned and walked out.
On the day when the Mang army was defeated, Liu Xiu sent Long Bo to Wancheng to meet his eldest brother Liu Yan and asked him to go to Xinye to propose marriage.
In the past, Liu Xiu always felt that the gap between her identity and that of the Yin family was too great, and she did not dare to mention certain things to the Yin family.
But now, he has understood Yin Lihua's feelings for him, and he has won a great victory here in Kunyang and has become famous. Liu Xiu has some confidence and asks his eldest brother to propose marriage to the Yin family on his behalf.
Now Liu Xiu was in a state of confusion, wondering whether the Yin family would agree to this matter.
Farewell to Wang Feng, Liu Xiu returned to his tent.
At this time, all the generals under Liu Xiu's command were in the camp, and everyone was smiling and chatting lively.
Zhu You grinned widely, shook his chubby head, and said with a smile: "This time we defeated the 400,000-strong army with less than 20,000 troops. It is unprecedented and unprecedented, right?"
Ma Wu nodded and said with a smile: "In the past, there has never been a battle in which the military strength was so disparate and yet the enemy could still win."
Zhu You said proudly: "The 400,000 reckless troops are actually nothing more than that. Except for Ju Guuba, the rest are just a bunch of rabble, not worth mentioning."
Mentioning Juwu Ba, Ji Zun couldn't help but sigh: "Juwu Ba is really brave enough to be the best among the three armies, and has the courage to be invincible by ten thousand people!" Now think about the scene of their group fighting against Juwu Ba, Ji Zun has I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Jia Fu also nodded in agreement and said: "This man is indeed powerful! It's a pity that he chose to assist Wang Mang. If he was willing to assist the lord, wouldn't the world be ours?"
Wang Ba snorted disapprovingly and said: "No matter how powerful the giant is, it won't be defeated in our hands and beheaded by us in the end? Wanting to go against the will of heaven by one's own strength, it's a joke!"
Zhu You said with regret: "It's a pity that this battle failed to kill the scourge of Wang Yi, and Wang Yi ran away."
Ma Wu also felt it was a pity, shook his head and said: "It's just a close call! If we can pursue faster, we can definitely kill Wang Yi!"
Jia Fu smiled, shrugged and said, "Actually, our army's complete victory in this battle is all thanks to Wang Yi's help!"
Everyone looked at Jia Fu in confusion, and the latter said seriously: "Actually, the Mang army has many chances to win this battle. They can skip Kunyang and go directly around the city to attack Nanyang, but Wang Yi is not sure. This is the first favor he has done to our army. When the Mang army attacked Kunyang, Wang Feng submitted letters of surrender twice, but Wang Yi refused. This is the second favor he has done to our army.
"Even if they want to attack Kunyang, the reckless army should not besiege the city on all sides and block all exits. Instead, they should choose to attack on three sides and leave a way to survive. Only in this way can they shake the morale of the defenders and even allow the defenders to take the initiative to escape.
The city, but Wang Yi committed a taboo in the art of war and besieged the city on all sides, leaving the defenders with no choice but to resist desperately. This is the third favor Wang Yi has done for our army. With such a stupid commander, how could the reckless army do it?
Undefeated?!"
After hearing Jia Fu's analysis, everyone nodded frequently. Jia Fu was right, as the art of war states, besiege a city by three, not four.
Jia Fu continued: "In addition, on the surface, the Mang army looks like it has a large number of soldiers. In fact, most of the soldiers were scraped together. There are serious internal differences and contradictions, and the tactic used by the lord to attack the heart is exactly the same.
We hit the vital point of the Mang army. This was also the time when we attacked the Mang army camp. There were obviously so many soldiers in the Mang camp, but the only ones who were really willing to stand up to resist our army were the eight thousand soldiers led by Wang Yi.
Thousands of people.”
Ji Zun looked at Jia Fu with bright eyes, admiration naturally showing on his face.
He used to think that Jia Fu was just a brave and brave general, but now it seems that he underestimated Jia Fu too much. Jia Fu's understanding of the entire war was beyond imagination. This man was really brave and resourceful.
When Liu Xiu returned to the camp, he saw Feng Yi sitting outside the camp to enjoy the cool air. He walked forward happily and asked with a smile: "Gongsun, why are you sitting here?"
Seeing Liu Xiu, Feng Yi immediately stood up, bowed his hands and saluted, and said, "I have met my lord."
Liu Xiu waved his hand to him. Feng Yi straightened his body and said to Liu Xiu: "There is no ventilation in the camp and there are many people. I will come out and sit when I have time."
I listened carefully to the goings on inside the camp, and saw that everyone inside was talking animatedly, mentioning their respective achievements and praising each other from time to time.
Liu Xiu smiled, patted Feng Yi on the arm, and walked into the tent with him one behind the other.
Seeing Liu Xiu's return, all the generals in the camp stood up, stepped in to salute, and said in unison: "Lord!"
Liu Xiu smiled and waved to everyone and said, "Everyone, please sit down!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Liu Xiu asked: "How have you rested these two days?"
Ma Wu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinate's body has recovered as before!"
Jia Fu also said: "Lord, my subordinate's injuries have scabbed over and are no longer serious."
Liu Xiu nodded and said: "Just now, I went to meet Duke Cheng Guo. Soon, I will lead seven thousand troops to go south to fight in Runan."
So fast! Everyone present was a little surprised. Jia Fu agreed and said: "It is a good time for us to attack Runan now. I am willing to accompany my lord on the expedition!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Wu, Yao Qi and others reacted and all stepped in to ask for help: "I am willing to accompany my lord on the expedition!"
Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction at the invitations from others. Finally, he looked at Jia Fu, who was the first to ask for a tassel, and said, "Jun Wen will not go to Runan this time. Stay in Kunyang and recuperate!"
"
Despite Jia Fu's nice words, the injury was no longer serious, but he was so seriously injured at the beginning, and now he has only been recovering for a few days. How could the injury be completely healed? Liu Xiu was really reluctant to let Jia Fu go to war with the army anymore.
Jia Fu's face turned red and he said urgently: "My lord, you are worrying too much. My subordinate's injuries have indeed almost recovered. My lord..."
Liu Xiu waved his hands insistently and said sternly: "This expedition will go deep into Runan and travel through mountains and rivers. The journey is long. It is really not suitable for Jun Wen to travel with the army. Even if Jun Wen can recuperate in Kunyang for a few months before entering Runan
, and I won’t stop you.”
"Lord..."
"Okay, there's no need to talk about this anymore!" Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Although we have won a great victory now, we still don't know how many wars are waiting for us in the future. What I want is a lively and vigorous person.
Jun Wen, not Jun Wen who is full of old wounds!"
Liu Xiu had talked to such an extent that Jia Fu couldn't say any more and lowered his head gloomily.
Ma Wu grinned at the side and said, "Jun Wen should recover from his injuries in Kunyang. Don't worry about the war in Runan anymore!"
In his opinion, by the time Jia Fu recovers from his injuries, the war in Runan will be over long ago. With his current morale and reputation, it will be easy to attack Runan. After listening to his words, Jia Fu's face became more and more gloomy.
Feng Yi smiled helplessly, changed the subject, and asked: "Lord, how many cavalry and how many infantry are there among the 7,000 troops led by our army this time?"
Liu Xiu said seriously: "Five thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry."
Ma Wu was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay! It's good to have cavalry, it will make fighting easier!"
Liu Xiu looked at Ma Wu and asked: "Zi Zhang's injury..." Ma Wu also suffered internal injuries during the battle with Ju Wu Ba.
As soon as he started talking, Ma Wu slapped his chest and said loudly: "My lord, that injury is nothing at all, it has been cured long ago!"
Seeing that Ma Wu was indeed fine and his face was rosy, Liu Xiu felt relieved. He turned to Feng Yi and said, "Gongsun, you will go and pick out five thousand elite soldiers later!"
As he spoke, he said to Ma Wu: "Zizhang, I leave the selection of the cavalry to you!"
"Yes! Lord!" Feng Yi and Ma Wu accepted the order together.
Liu Xiu looked at Ji Zun and Ma Cheng again and said: "Di Sun, Jun Qian, you two go and get the materials needed by our army. I have already said hello to Duke Cheng, and all the materials our army needs will be
You can take whatever you want.”
"Yes! Lord!" Ji Zun and Ma Cheng both responded.
Liu Xiu said to Gai Yan again: "Ju Qing, you can count the food and grass that our department needs."
"yes!"
"Next time!" "My subordinates are here!" Yao Qi handed over. Liu Xiu said: "Arrange as many of our spies as possible into Runan. I want to know the situation in Pingyu and Runan counties, especially
Pingyu, Xiping and Chengyang!"
Pingyu (yu) is the county seat of Runan County, where the county government is located, and the core of the entire Runan.
Xiping is located near the junction of Runan and Yingchuan. If Liu Xiu's tribe goes south into Runan, the first target of attack will be Xiping. As for Chengyang, it is the headquarters of Liu Sheng's tribe, but it is located in a remote place, located in the southwest corner of Runan County.
Yao Qi cupped his hands and said, "I obey!"
After explaining and arranging everything, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Yesterday, we attended the celebration banquet of Duke Cheng Guo. I think all the brothers seemed a little unhappy."
Ma Wu sneered disapprovingly and said, "How can we have fun at a banquet with a bunch of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Others also nodded, indicating that Ma Wu was right. The generals under Liu Xiu looked down on Wang Feng, and they also looked down on the generals under Wang Feng.
When the two armies were fighting, they were able to submit a letter of surrender to the enemy. It was extremely embarrassing and shameful to be associated with him.
Liu Xiu smiled calmly and said: "Tonight, I will host a banquet by myself, and all the brothers and I will get drunk before we rest!"
After hearing this, the eyes of everyone present lit up. Ma Wu suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Lord, my subordinates will immediately send someone to prepare wine and meat!"
Liu Xiu looked up and smiled and said: "When Zi Zhang heard that there was wine, he became more energetic, haha..."
Ma Wu looked at Liu Xiu, then at the others, scratched his head in embarrassment, and giggled along with him.
