The battle in front of the valley has ended, Sun Jian was defeated, Sun Jian and Xu Kun were killed, and Zu Mao fled alone.

All the elites used by Sun Jian were killed in battle, and most of the rabble gathered in Changsha County were killed and wounded, and only about 3,000 people remained, most of whom were no longer able to fight.

Liu Qi's more than 8,000 people won a complete victory just by paying more than 4,000 people, and Wen Ping led 3,000 elite infantry soldiers to quickly go to Dongting Lake to recapture it according to Liu Qi's order. According to the news of the scouts, Shuizhai was attacked by Han Dang's army, and the flames soared into the sky, and even the public security county dozens of miles away could faintly see the firelight reflected from the side of the night.

The rest were temporarily recruited from Gong'an County, and Xiang Yong, plus more than 1,000 elite guards around Liu Qi, stayed behind to escort these disabled soldiers to Gong'an County.

"The eldest prince, below..."Kuai Yue looked slightly embarrassed, and wanted to speak.

Eliminating Sun Jian's main force, Liu Qi was greatly excited, didn't notice Kuai Yue's expression, and said happily: "If the Xeno-military division has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

"I have offended the eldest prince a lot before going down, please forgive the eldest prince." Kuai Yue apologized frankly, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and at the same time he looked at Liu Qi again.

Maybe the eldest brother is right, I really underestimate Liu Qi, the eldest son. With this series of schemes, luring the enemy deeper, reducing the focus to cause the enemy to be arrogant, and finally annihilating Sun Jian in one fell swoop, it simply opened Kuaiyue's eyes and admired it at the same time. Along the way, Kuai Yue neither made plans nor led troops to fight, and even sometimes gave Liu Qi some small problems, and Liu Qi solved them one by one.

Sun Jian's land army was wiped out, leaving Changsha as an empty city, and there must not be much to do, and it is only a matter of time before Changsha County recovers. Although the water army was defeated, it was not without the strength to fight, at least it could make Han Dang's three generals lose the vitality of the water army, as long as Liu Qi used Sun Jian's corpse properly, it was only a matter of time before the water village returned to Liu Qi's hands. More importantly, if Han Dang's naval army is taken away from Changsha, it will definitely not be able to supply grain and grass, and it will not be a big problem to fight alone and completely destroy Sun Jian's naval army again.

Now it depends on whether Wen Ping can recapture Shuizhai with 3,000 elite soldiers, and whether Shi A can ambush reinforcements to recapture Changsha County.

Thinking of this, Kuai Yue became more and more appreciative of Liu Qi, the eldest son who was only sixteen years old. He can't be so sure at this age. Foresighted, decisive killing, no need to go to the sick. It seems that it is time to think about the gamble that the big brother said earlier.

"Don't say that, the Xenomorph Commander." Liu Qi smiled, relieved Kuai Yue's nervousness, and said, "The kid is young, and it is reasonable for the military advisor not to trust, what a crime. ”

Liu Qi's sunny smile suddenly made Kuai Yue breathe a sigh of relief, you must know that as a military advisor, it can be regarded as a crime of incompetence according to the law, and losing the official position is a trivial matter, if it involves the family, it will be a big trouble. Seeing this, Kuai Yue glanced at Liu Qi gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Grand Duke... Dashuai doesn't care about his kindness, I don't know what Dashuai should do next? ”

Liu Qi doesn't care about it, it doesn't mean that Kuai Yue is not in the middle of doing nothing, he immediately asked Liu Qi what to do in these urgent tasks. What's more, he was also very eager to know Liu Qi's next move to see if there could be any differences.

"General Wen has already led his troops to Shuizhai, if the intelligence is true, do you think the Cai clan can still hold the right to speak in Jingzhou Sailor?" Liu Qi said his ambitions openly, and when he said the word Cai, there was a flash of murder.

Kuai Yue was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked: it turned out that he had already planned! I thought that Liu Qi was focused on resisting Sun Jian, and he didn't pay attention to the matter of the navy. Thinking of this, Kuai Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly, he still underestimated him.

"The kid said that or it seemed to your family to go against the grain, but the kid was planning this from the beginning." Liu Qi's immature and resolute face could not see joy or anger, "The purpose of losing dozens of miles in a row is to paralyze Sun Jian, and more importantly, it is to paralyze Cai Zhongcai and the second general of the navy." ”

Kuai Yue was really shocked at this time, and looked at Liu Qi in surprise.

"My father once said that only the Cai family in Jingzhou is not loyal, and Mr. Yidu and others are the arms of my Liu family's revitalization." Liu Qi said frankly: "It's just that the water master is in the hands of the Cai family, and my father has to reuse it." ”

Kuai Yue nodded and said that he understood, the Cai family's ambition is not a matter of a day or two, if Liu Biao can't see this, then he will be the governor of a state in vain, and said suspiciously: "But the eldest prince doesn't have to ...... either"

Liu Qi interrupted Kuai Yue and said, "Mr. Xenodu thinks that the current naval army can have some combat power, and what are the chances of victory against the Jiangdong Tigers?" ”

"This..."Kuai Yue knows Cai Zhong Cai He even more deeply than he knows himself, "Zhang Yun is talented, so he will not end up mediocre and famous." ”

"It's just a pity, he's only loyal to the Cai family." When Liu Qi was in Yiyang, he had already inquired about the Cai family in Jingzhou. The implication is that Liu Biao, the lord, is not Zhang Yun's lord in Zhang Yun's eyes, and he will not seek two masters.

Kuai Yue choked for a moment and was speechless. Liu Qi continued: "Only when the Cai clan is defeated can my father have an excuse to regain the power of the Sailor Division, and only in this way can we rebuild our army's mighty Sailor Division." However, please rest assured that Mr. Xenodegree knows that the Kuai family has no second thoughts, and will not treat Mr. Xenodegree family like this. ”

Is this a threat or a promise? Kuai Yue's thoughts flashed, and he said with a wry smile: "Everyone in the world says that the lord and father have a false appearance, who underestimates whom?" ”

Liu Qi didn't mind the disrespect in Kuai Yue's mouth, and said: "It's getting dark, the third brother has no news, this commander intends to lead hundreds of elite horsemen to support, what does the military advisor think?" ”

"It's all up to the commander." It is not far from Gong'an County, not to mention that Deng Yi and Pang Ji obeyed Liu Biao's order early in the morning and led 5,000 elites to garrison.

Liu Qi nodded, called the elite guards who followed from Yiyang County, and said, "Brothers, follow the general to support the three generals and recapture Linxiang (Changsha County Administration)." ”

More than 500 elites walked away quickly, and Liu Qi said: "Gong'an County is in front, and everything has a labor division." ”

After saying that, he was about to leave with the horse, Kuai Yue suddenly raised his voice and asked: "The eldest prince is not afraid that he will expose these things to the Cai family, or will the Xia Kuai family have other plans, causing the lord's success to fail?" ”

Liu Qi didn't stop taking a step, and said without looking back: "My father believes in you, and the kid also believes that Mr. Xenodu won't do this, it's enough!" After saying that, the person has disappeared at the end of the official road.

Kuai Yue stared at Liu Qi's departing figure, his expression changed, and then as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Let's return to the public security!" ”

……

Jingzhou Water Village.

After the war, the water village suffered great damage, and even a decent guardrail could not be found intact. Only 3,000 people remained in the Jingzhou Navy Division to escort Cai Zhong to flee, and most of the remaining sailors were killed and wounded, and more than 1,000 were injured and forced to surrender. Pieces of wrecked boats and broken trees on the river float horizontally on Dongting Lake.

In this battle, the Jingzhou Navy Division was defeated, and although the three generals of Han Dang won, it was also a tragic victory. There were only less than 2,000 soldiers left in the entire village, and the rest were dead and wounded, and they were in a depression.

Huang Gai hurriedly rushed into the makeshift tent from the outside, and said sadly: "The lord is in the middle of the plan, the whole army has been destroyed!" ”

"Yes!" Han Dang couldn't believe that the brave and resourceful Sun Jian died like this, and looked up to the sky and shouted: "This is not true! ”

Cheng Pu was the oldest, and asked with sadness: "What's going on?" ”

"It turns out that Liu Qi's retreat is all pretended, and the purpose is to lure the lord to go deeper!" Huang Gai told the scout the news in detail, and the old tearful face was full of sadness and hatred, and said in a hoarse voice: "The lord was ambushed and died in battle!" ”

"No!" Han Dang couldn't suppress his grief and cried bitterly. Cheng Putong was like this, and it took a long time before asking, "What about General Zu?" ”

"General Zu Mao desperately broke through, he should have arrived in Linxiang!" Huang Gai raised his knife and said, "Let's go!" Grab the body of the lord back no matter what! ”

Cheng Puqiang endured his grief, grabbed Huang Gai with one hand and said: "Now is not the time to be righteous!" Righteous father! Don't you want to? With our little strength, are we going to be buried with the lord? ”

"Do you just let him go!"

Huang Gai stared at Cheng Pu fiercely, and Cheng Pu snorted: "There are no people in Jiangdong who are afraid of death, only righteous men who died in battle!" We can't let the lord die in vain, we have to protect the lord's descendants and let them avenge the lord in the future! ”

"Report! Three thousand elite foot soldiers appeared five miles outside the water village, and they would arrive at the water village in less than an hour! ”

What the! The bad news came one by one, hitting the level of tolerance of the three of them. As the big brother, Cheng Pu had to ask, "Who are they?" ”

"The word 'Wen' is hung on the handsome flag, not our army!" The scout replied.

"It must be that Liu Qi learned of the defeat of the Jingzhou Navy Division, and sent this brave general to fight." Cheng Pu panicked.

"Okay, Lao Tzu didn't come to the door, but you came to die!" Huang Gai couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and he was about to go out of the tent to meet the enemy as soon as he strided, "If you don't kill him, it's hard to vent the hatred in my heart!" ”

"Yigong, you stop!" Han Dang and Cheng Pu finally endured the sadness in their hearts, and when they saw that Huang Gai was about to rush out, they were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped and hugged him, Cheng Pu said angrily: "Nonsense! What is the difference between this and sending to death! ”

Huang Gai screamed with hatred, Cheng Pu and Han Dang waited for him to vent almost before Cheng Pu said: "You can't make fearless sacrifices anymore!" Now the situation in Linxiang is unknown, and judging from the destruction of the lord's army, Linxiang is estimated to be in the midst of war! ”

"Major General Ce!" Han Danghuang Gai suddenly remembered Sun Ce who stayed in Linxiang, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Cheng Pu looked solemn and said: "Linxiang is a small wreck, if the major general is captured and killed, I will have no shame to face the lord!" ”

Han Dang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and said, "What should I do now?" "In terms of the time for the return of reinforcements, they will definitely not be able to catch up, not to mention that they still have these two thousand wounded and prisoners.

"Now the plan is to withdraw from the water village, leave the wounded behind, and march quickly to support Linxiang!" Cheng Pu immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered: "If General Zu rescues the young general, then we will fight to the death for them to find a bloody way to return to Yuzhang County!" Otherwise, you and I will die in Changsha! ”

"Without further ado! Walk! Huang Gai took the lead in going out of the tent and assembling and asked people to capture Zhang Yun and Cai and the two captives with the army.

……

When Wen Ping arrived, the water village was already empty, and only the wounded of the enemy and us were left on the ground wailing.

"Help... General Wen save me..."One of them saw Wen Ping once or twice, and immediately shouted for help.

Wen Ping frowned and said, "What about them?" ”

"Retreated an hour ago!"

Seeing that he could not be chased, Wen Ping immediately ordered the wounded soldiers to be collected, camped on the spot, and sent scouts to inform Liu Qi, while he stayed here and waited for the next order.
