Unexpectedly, Cheng Feng changed the topic: "But we came in in time, and we still have breath, but we haven't recovered yet."
Tang Xiaodeng was overjoyed at the time, but then felt a little disappointed. After all, this was the result of the battle between Cheng Feng and Yu Linqi. He arrived a step too late and had nothing to do with him.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Feng reached out and patted Tang Xiao on the shoulder: "I'll leave it to you. Just pretend I've never been here."
Tang Xiao was startled for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thinking that the brothers who died in this battle had not yet received enough military merit, his opened mouth just shook a little, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Thank you very much."
Cheng Feng didn't say anything else, he just opened the curtain and walked out, and a battle leader who was following him followed closely. The two of them didn't say a word, and there wasn't even a sound of footsteps. It was really like
It's like never before.
It wasn't until the sun shone on his face again that the leader asked in a low voice: "Boss, why don't you want this credit? Lu Zhongsu said it was the person who was named by His Highness, and it was indeed us who arrived first. Everyone is
We saved it."
Cheng Feng whispered: "Our contribution in this battle is already great enough, we don't need another icing on the cake, Lu Zhongsu."
"This..." The war leader was a little hard to accept.
Cheng Feng couldn't help but whispered: "Tang Xiao and the others fought badly this time. There are still so many soldiers who died. Military merit must be divided. One Lu Zhongsu can solve many problems. Since there is such a favor, we can
Why not give it away? The credit for breaking through the camp alone is enough for us to be in the front row of the credit book."
The battle leader hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say, but Cheng Feng said in a deep voice:
"It is true that we are the sharpest and deadliest sword in His Highness's hand, but this does not mean that we can snatch the merits regardless. This will only put us on the opposite side of everyone. When the time comes, we will face the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty.
Even His Highness will compromise under the pressure. In the final analysis, we are all brothers Paoze. If we compete for credit with a bunch of brothers who died like this, we will be stabbed in the back."
The battle leader nodded in understanding, and Cheng Feng patted him on the shoulder: "You can't talk to outsiders."
"clear!"
Cheng Feng turned his head and looked at the rapidly changing battlefield. Because the iron cable blocking the river had been untied, the warships of the Shuhan Navy went down the river to catch up with the retreating warships of the Jingzhou Navy. The Jingzhou Navy was obviously still there.
There were some tactics to continuously organize the defenders to implement interceptions, but in front of the powerful Shu Han navy, these obstructions became as thin as white paper.
The natural barrier of the river has been broken, and Gu Jue on the other side has begun to retreat from the back mountain. Obviously, there is no point in continuing to guard the small camp.
Although the Shu Han suffered heavy losses in this battle, they won in the end. The Nanchen army that surrendered or was defeated, and the Jingzhou Navy that fled in panic, all told people that in Jingzhou, except for the main force of Xiao Maha in Jiangling City, there was no one else.
People can block Li Xingchen's progress, but now that Xiao Mohe has been blocked by Pei Zilie, he has no time to worry about Li Xingchen.
At this point, the Nanchen and Jingzhou defense lines have become ineffective, and the second line of defense is wide open.
————————-
When a fire broke out behind Lu Zhongsu's camp, Li Xinchen already knew that the battle was almost over. However, walking along this steep hillside, the layers of corpses around Luzhai and Juma still made Li Xinchen feel painful.
They were all good young men, but they fell on the eve of peace.
And soon Li Xingchen walked to the camp where countless people sacrificed their lives to finally reach it. Standing on the collapsed wall of the camp and looking down, he really had the feeling of "one general's success and ten thousand bones withered", which made people feel even more depressing.
If Li Xingchen were a few years younger, he might not be able to resist killing Lu Zhongsu with a sword, but now that he is sitting in the position of King of Han, he knows what he should do.
The construction of national civil affairs, social security and stability, and the New Deal being arranged by Li Xingchen all need someone to implement it. At least Lu Zhongsu, a guy with a good reputation in history, is a good choice.
Of course, Li Xingchen is not stupid. In history, this guy was loyal to the end for Nanchen. According to Tang Xiao, he had just committed suicide and was saved. I guess he was still aggrieved at this time, so Li Xingchen had no intention of doing this at all.
When he saw him, he sent Lu Zhongsu directly to the navy fleet at the rear, where someone would naturally surrender to him.
"Shizhong," Xiao Shilian strode over. When the fight was fierce, Xiao Shilian himself had already led his personal guards ashore. As long as Tang Xiao and others died in the battle, Xiao Shilian would definitely be the first to fight, but obviously Tang Xiao did not give him any help.
At this opportunity, he said, "The battlefield has almost been cleared. We can only count it as a miserable victory."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly: "Give me the order to withdraw the troops. Tell the navy not to pursue."
After a pause, Li Xingchen looked around: "This Yiling natural barrier can't be broken through. Although our losses are great, they are not to the point of breaking our bones. I am very satisfied to be able to stand here."
.At least I have successfully proved to the world that I am not Liu Xuande who was completely wiped out here. Even Qi Xin and Lu Zhongsu can’t do Lu Boyan!"
Xiao Shilian smiled: "What are you going to do next?"
Li Xingchen looked to the east against the river breeze: "The army will take a rest and prepare to attack Gong'an and Songzi."
"promise!"
And Li Xingchen took a long breath. This feeling of guiding the country is really good!
However, Lu Zhongsu, who was a prisoner at this time, obviously had different ideas from Li Xingchen. Lu Zhongsu knew very well what the defeat of Yiling meant. Neither Jingnan, which had few troops anymore, nor Jiangling, which was attacked from both sides, could no longer support Taiyuan.
After a long time, Jingzhou may no longer be owned by Nanchen in the blink of an eye.
This feeling of the collapse of the country and the danger of the country made Lu Zhongsu feel very painful. What was even more painful was that although he tried his best, he could not save the situation. At this time, as a prisoner, he could no longer do anything.
Although he didn't know why Li Xingchen didn't see him and instead sent him directly to this huge warship, Lu Zhongsu didn't care about it anymore. He just walked forward in a daze along the way. If he wasn't still breathing, I'm afraid the soldiers next to him would
I thought I was escorting a corpse.
The cabin door opened, and when a maid saw Lu Zhongsu walking in, she hurriedly made a gesture of invitation: "Master Lu, please sit down."
Although Lu Zhongsu didn't know why there were maids in luxurious clothes in the army, he thought they were brought by Li Xingchen. He snorted coldly but did not sit down.
"I'm asking you to sit down. If Lu Gong doesn't give face to the King of Han, you have to give me face, right?" At this moment, a woman turned around from behind the screen and looked at Lu Zhongsu with a smile. (To be continued)
