in the cabin.

Cheng Lian stood at the window, seeing that his troops had suppressed the enemy's offensive, and the stone in his heart was finally put down.

The accompanying imperial physician bandaged Cheng Lian and said, "The general must not move again, and he must take good care of his body." ”

"Okay, thank you."

Cheng Lian's body is very weak.

"You stand down first." Gan Ning said to the imperial doctor.

"No."

The Imperial Physician retreated to the rest room at the stern of the ship.

Gan Ning sat down and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, but... Your new army is indeed very combative. It is a miracle that in an unfavorable situation, it can turn defeat into victory and defeat a strong enemy. ”

"It is an honor for our new army to be recognized by the general."

"But...."

Gan Ning changed his words and said, "But... I don't like you generals of the new army. They are all proud to the sky, but they don't know that the art of war is noble, and killing people is invisible? ”

"If it's me who ambushes you. You don't have a chance to use the cannon at all. A hundred warships, all of them have to sink into the river.... ”

Hearing this, Cheng Lian and Wei Xu were very dissatisfied, and thought: "If you fight head-on, Gan Ning's navy will not be a dish at all." ”

"Perhaps..."

Cheng Lian did not deny Gan Ning's words. Because he felt that there was some truth in what Gan Ning said. Because it is often not advanced weapons that determine the victory or defeat of a war, but unpredictable resourcefulness.

A small decision can make or break a decision.

"Wait for the Lord's punishment. Maybe... I'm going to have to be punished, too. Gan Ning said in a calm tone, but he was thinking in his heart: "It's really eight lifetimes of blood mold, how can I command the battle with these two people." ”

"Uh..."

Cheng Lian and Wei Xu couldn't distinguish each other, and they couldn't say a word.

After a hard-fought battle, the enemy in Jinshawan was finally eliminated. According to statistics, three warships were damaged and more than 2,000 people were killed or wounded. Among them was a fighting ship loaded with shells, which was crushed by rocks and sank to the bottom of the river.

The news reached the rear.

After reading the battle report, Lu Bu was extremely angry: "The two main divisions, engaged with the enemy's small forces, and paid a heavy price. is a completely stupid pig-like commander, is he still qualified to be a division commander? Withdraw the two of them to Lao Tzu! ”

"The Lord is angry..."

Xu Shu stepped forward and said: "Cheng Lian and Wei Xu are veterans in the army, and they have made countless meritorious contributions over the years, so they are removed from their posts for fear that it will cause their dissatisfaction." After this battle, they will definitely be more careful. There will be no more Sands Bay incidents. ”

"How about merit? Can merit be exempted? ”

Lu Bu was still distressed by the shells of the boat and the soldiers of the two regiments, and said in an unquestionable tone: "They must be withdrawn." Let them go back to the Wuying Hall to rebuild. ”

Lu Bu's gaze swept over and over the cabin, and finally locked on Han Xin and Li Jing, and said, "You two, go to the front line now and announce my decision." You are the commanders of the 1st and 2nd Divisions. Conquer Fucheng with Gan Ning. ”

"No."

Han Xin and Li Jing were surprised.

As a general of the Second and Third Armies, he was actually qualified to serve in the First Army. You must know that the equipment of the First Army is much stronger than that of the Second Army and the Third Army, and the fighting style is also different.

"My lord... Changing positions on the spot will be a big taboo, so let's wait for them to conquer Fucheng. Xu Shu admonished.

The rest of the generals also have their own thoughts.

Some of them are not worth it for Wei Xu and Cheng Lian.

Some envy Han Xin and Li Jing. From the division commander of the ordinary new army, he was transferred to the division commander of the elite new army. It was a pie in the sky and hit them in the head.

"No, I can't. They are no longer qualified to command the army, and they must be punished! ”

Lu Bu did not take Xu Shu's advice, and said to everyone: "You must also remember that the guy in your hand is good, it does not mean that you will definitely win." Your decision-making can be carried out in a way that makes a difference. It is also possible to bury tens of thousands of soldiers. Their parents and relatives are waiting in Shouchun City. If because of your stupidity, let them send white-haired people to black-haired people, how can you be safe? ”

"What my lord said is that we will definitely learn a lesson." Han Xin said with his fists clenched.

"Marching and fighting is not child's play, it requires careful planning and prudence. Just like the Jinshawan incident, if a small force could have been sent to reconnoiter and find out the situation in advance, would casualties have been avoided? ”

Lu Bu said slowly.

Originally, the attack on Yizhou was a battle without suspense.

In the eyes of the generals. Liu Bei is the meat on the chopping board, and he can cut it however he wants. Liu Bei also did not have the qualifications and strength to confront the new army. But now it seems that it is worth being cautious.

"Take it."

Lu Bu wrote an order, handed it to Han Xin and Li Jing, and said, "You two, go to the front line immediately." ”

"No."

Xu Shu saw that the matter was irreversible, so he no longer interceded for Cheng Lian and Wei Xu.

After the two left the ship.

Lu Bu continued: "It can be seen from the Jinshawan incident that Liu Beijun's generals were not frightened by us. They want to take advantage of the terrain in Shu to fight us. We need to be vigilant and use our strengths to eliminate them. ”

"That's what the lord said."

Hao Meng, the brigade commander of the Independent Brigade of the First Army, said: "God is fair. Gave us artillery, but also gave us the advantage of the enemy in the terrain. You can ambush or surround us anywhere. At some point, we will divide our troops and break them individually. ”

"So... The battle to destroy Shu is not as simple as you think. To have a lion fight a rabbit, still make full preparations. It is also necessary to have a well-thought-out, perfect plan. Lu Bu said.

"Yes, yes..."

After some discussion.

The generals became cautious.

Han Xin and Li Jing arrived at the front line, and after reading out Lü Bu's order, Cheng Lian and Wei Xu were removed from their posts and sent to Shouchun Wuying Hall for reconstruction. Han Xin and Li Jing took over as commanders of the First and Second Divisions.

As a veteran under Lu Bu, not to mention how strong his martial arts and fighting talents are, at least he is loyal and has made great contributions, but he was removed from the military power.

It's like going from heaven to hell all at once.

Cheng Lian and Wei Xu's hearts were very uncomfortable.

However, the order has been delivered, and it is still written by Lu Bu himself, and even the military department and the military aircraft department cannot be changed. Cheng Lian and Wei Xu could only accept the reality and retreat to the rear to cultivate.

Before leaving, Gan Ning said with some sympathy: "You two don't worry, the lord can't forget you." Someday, you will be sent to the Forces nouvelles. ”

Wei Xu was lying on the bed, feeling very aggrieved.

Cheng Lian said: "General Gan... Do you really think so? ”

"Of course."

Gan Ning said: "You are generals who have followed the lord for more than ten years, fought in the south and the north, and made countless meritorious contributions. With this alone, it is bound to be reused. The removal is only temporary. ”

"I've borrowed your good words..."

The three of them talked for a while.

After Gan Ning left, the fighting ship moved north and went to Jingzhou to dock.
