On the dock on the south bank, there was already a bonfire raging at this time.

In the thick of the night, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division of the Qingzhou Army finally started the belated dinner, the main general Guan Hai and the deputy general Liu Bi visited the wounded soldiers, and after a round of inspection, they returned to the main tent of the Chinese army, looking at the refined meals on the low table, without the slightest appetite.

Although this battle was won, and it was a great victory that the Fourth Division had never won since its formation, more than 5,000 old brothers were killed in the battle, and more than 3,000 old brothers were slightly wounded, not counting the first aid received by the military medical officers.

Liu Bi waved away the surrounding lieutenants, lowered his voice and comforted Guan Hai: "Big brother, don't be too sad, don't worry about taking the initiative to cross the river to chase and attract the lord to punish ......"

"Before the war, the lord has given us the power to deal with the opportunity, I think with the wisdom and loftiness of the lord, not only will not punish the eldest brother, but will praise the eldest brother's decisiveness!"

"The eldest brother personally led more than 6,000 brothers to cross the river in pursuit, defeated the enemy's entire naval division, annihilated more than 5,000 enemy troops, and also achieved the goal of containing the enemy army and fatigue the enemy army, greatly reducing the pressure Xu Wenxiang was under them......"

"So, even if the price is big, it's worth it, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while!"

Guan Hai exhaled slowly, straightened his legs, leaned heavily on the wooden box beside him, sighed, and said, "What you said, why don't I know in my heart?" It's just that. Seeing so many old brothers who get along day and night are gone. The heart is always heavy. Alas......"

"To be honest, I don't regret it at all, even if I do it again, I will do it, and I am convinced that the lord will only approve, and will never punish, the only uncomfortable thing is that we chased too quickly and did not grasp the best opportunity......"

"Think about it, if you wait until the 10,000 cavalry led by Xu Wenxiang and Wei Wenchang will kill us. We will definitely not die so many brothers, and maybe we will be able to successfully kill the ferry, occupy the enemy camp in one fell swoop, and achieve greater results. ”

Liu Bi nodded silently.

After entering the Qingzhou Army, Liu Pi learned a lot of things, whether it was strategic vision or the ability to lead troops, there was a huge improvement, especially after the victory in this battle, he suddenly had a kind of enlightenment-like understanding, with a broader vision and overall situation, and the whole person was also reborn with great changes. Therefore, he can quickly comprehend Guan Hai's thoughts and experience the mood at this moment.

Just when Liu Pi added tea to Guan Hai. Guan Hai's chief guard walked into the main tent of the Chinese army quickly, came to the two of them, and said to Guan Hai: "Report to the general, the lord and the military division are almost here!" ”

Guan Hai and Liu Bi immediately stood up, quickly sorted out their clothes and armor, put on their silver helmets, and walked out of the camp side by side with each other.

Liu Cun, who was in full armor, had already turned over and dismounted, looked at Guan Hai and Liu Bi, who had stepped forward to greet him and saluted respectfully, stood three steps in front of the two of them to return the salute, and said something that surprised Guan Hai and Liu Bi and said something that surprised and inspired:

"The Fourth Division deserves to be the elite division of our army, and it should be the first to make the most of this battle...... It's just that I also want to ask, do the two generals still have the strength to fight? ”

Guan Hai and Liu Bi straightened their waists in a blink of an eye, held their heads high, looked at Liu Cun with blazing eyes, and replied in unison: "I am willing to die for the Lord!" ”

"Excellent! Haha, let's go in and talk about it...... Strategist, and Komeito, let's go in together. ”

After Liu Cun finished speaking, he cordially stretched out his hand, pulled the excited Guan Hai and Liu Bi, and strode into the big account, followed closely by Cui Yan, who joined the army, and Xu Huang, the new guerrilla general.

Entering the big tent and sitting down, Liu Cun smiled at the military academy that quickly served tea, took the teacup, put it on the ground casually, and praised it gently and loudly:

"I have read the battle report, the officers and men of the Fourth Division have worked hard and made outstanding achievements, and I am especially pleased with General Guan Hai's accurate judgment of the battle situation and his unhesitating and decisive pursuit ......."

"Others may think that the heavy casualties are completely unnecessary, but in my opinion, it is this seemingly unsuccessful pursuit that completely changed the entire battlefield situation and created the best fighter for the overall offensive of our army, which makes me unexpectedly happy, haha!"

"Strategist, it's up to you how to commend you."

Cui Yan saluted Liu Cun gracefully, flicked his sleeves, turned to Guan Hai and Liu Pi who were full of joy, took out the commendation order from his big sleeves, and said:

"At the suggestion of the lord and the approval of the Military Service Administration and the Military Command Administration, all the officers and men of the Fourth Division will be promoted to the first level, and all officers and men will be given a one-time reward equivalent to three months' military salary, and the whole army will be notified to commend them!"

"The missing soldiers of the Fourth Division can be selected from the 30,000 new trainees of the Luoyang East and West Battalions, and they can be supplemented by themselves at all levels, and they only need to report after reorganization."

When Guan Hai and Liu Pi heard this, they were overjoyed, and they both stood up and thanked them: "Thank you, lord!" ”

"Two generals, congratulations, haha!"

Cui Yan handed the commendation order to Guan Hai, waved his hand, and smiled at Guan Hai and Liu Bi, who saluted deeply, and said: "The two generals don't need to be polite, the final decisive opportunity is coming soon, and the two generals are invited to continue to work hard." ”

Liu Cun motioned to Guan Hai and Liu Bi, who had stepped forward to ask for battle, to sit down first, and after a little hesitation, he said unhurriedly: "I'll inform you of the new battle plan...... Although the river was blocked and it was impossible to get in touch with Xu Wenxiang, according to time calculations, within an hour at the latest, the 10,000 cavalry led by Xu Wenxiang and Wei Wenchang would launch a surprise attack on Han Siam's camp on the north bank. ”

"I ask you to mobilize no less than 5,000 elite infantry within half an hour, give up all baggage and crossbow carts, use all boats, take out all the pre-stored rafts, cross the river again as quickly as possible, and forcibly launch a landing operation."

"Judging from the current damaged strength and low morale of the White Polish Army, whether Xu Wen launches a surprise attack on them first, or thousands of elites of your Fourth Division take the lead, it can bring a huge blow to the enemy......

"If everything goes well, it is possible to completely annihilate the White Bo Army, which has done many evils for several years, and completely remove the security risks north of Luoyang."

"Therefore, the next battle is extremely important, and I ask you to make persistent efforts, even if it costs a lot, you will rush to Shaanxi-Tianjin."

Guan Hai Huoran stood up and raised his hand to salute: "My lord, please rest assured, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent...... The subordinates are going to prepare! ”

"I don't need you to be benevolent, I just need to win!"

Liu Cun stood up when he said this, walked in front of Guan Hai and Liu Pi with great expectation, and said solemnly: "After this battle, I will increase the establishment of a brigade for you, and then allocate 3,000 war horses to you, and the 30,000 new soldiers who will participate in this battle will be selected by you first." ”

Guan Hai was overjoyed, thought about it for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Lord, can you pick some people from the prisoners of the Baibo Army?" Those grandsons are almost the same as the Yellow Turban soldiers led by his subordinates before, most of them are veterans who have been war-torn and are familiar with the topography and customs of the north and south of the river. ”

Liu Cun weighed for a moment and readily agreed: "Yes, but it must be carefully selected, and those who are extremely evil in character and evil will be resolutely eliminated, otherwise it will lead to damage to the whole army." ”

"My subordinates understand, thank you!"

Guan Hai and Liu Bi thanked each other excitedly.
