June 18, the fourth year of Jian'an, in the early morning.

When the 8,000 Jinfan army rushed into the mouth of the water with murderous violation, the 3,000 unsuspecting garrison soldiers in the water village had just woken up from their sleep.

The battle had only lasted a quarter of an hour before the curtain had ended, and Jin Fan had not even met any substantial resistance, and countless people had fallen to their knees begging for mercy wherever the army had passed.

This battle can be said to be the easiest battle since Wang Chong's crossing, his own casualties were less than 100 people, but he killed nearly 1,000 enemies, captured more than 2,000 enemies, and the opponent's total of 3,000 garrison soldiers, taking advantage of the chaos to escape the Jinfan attack and kill, it can be said that there are very few.

"This rabble, it's not challenging at all!" Zhou Hu said with some indignation.

Originally, Zhou Hu still wanted to let the 'Iron Guard Battalion' show their might in this battle, but he never thought that they were wearing Xuan armor and ran a step slower, but they were stunned that they didn't get any oil and water, because when they arrived at the battlefield, everywhere they looked was those soldiers who held their heads in their hands and knelt all over the ground, and he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

Fortunately, the previous lesson is still vivid, not to kill and surrender prisoners, this is Wang Chong's rule all along, Zhou Hu really didn't dare to disobey, otherwise he really wanted to rush up and cut off dozens of his heads first, in order to relieve the boredom in his heart.

"Isn't that bad?" Li Tao glanced at Zhou Hu lightly, "If all the soldiers on the other side are as strong as the Jiangdong Army, I don't know how many soldiers I will have to sacrifice in this battle." ”

Zhou Hu was stunned for a moment, the arrogance on his face gradually faded, and he said solemnly: "Maybe what you said is right, I am too eager for quick success!" ”

"If only you could think so!" Li Tao smiled and patted Zhou Hu on the shoulder, "Your 'Iron Guard Battalion' is the elite of our Jinfan, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to go to the battlefield in the future?" ”

"That's right." As soon as he heard Li Tao mention the 'Iron Guard Battalion', Zhou Hu suddenly laughed triumphantly, obviously in his heart, it was undoubtedly a thing that he was extremely proud of to be the general of the 'Iron Guard Battalion'.

"Okay, I have to continue to clean up the battlefield, you take the 'Iron Guard Battalion' down to rest first, maybe in a few days, Zheng Bao will lead a large army to retaliate, and at that time, there will always be a chance for your 'Iron Guard Battalion' to perform!"

The current Lujiang County is mainly controlled by two forces, one of which is Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang stationed in Anhui City, who is the strongest in his power, even Sun Ce is very jealous of him; As for the other force, it is the powerful coalition army led by Zheng Bao, their sphere of influence is mainly in the local Chaohu area, extending to Jiujiang County, with a large number of soldiers and a wide range of food, and the one who guarded the mouth of the water before happened to be the generals under the command of Zheng Bao.

――――――――――

At the end of this battle, Jin Fan gained a lot, not to mention the two thousand soldiers, there were hundreds of warships alone, as well as a large amount of grain and grass, in addition, the 1215 experience points obtained by killing the enemy also raised Wang Chong's level from 16 to 17.

After a night's rest, at noon the next day, Wang Chong found Zhuge Jin alone.

"Ziyu, there is something that needs to trouble you."

"But please command, the chief."

"That's right, now that I'm Jinfan have occupied the mouth of the water, it's not right to say it in the end, so I hope you can take a trip to Wancheng."

"Wancheng?" Zhuge Jin was stunned, "Are you going to see Liu Xun?" ”

"Ah, I hope you can convince Liu Xun to allow him to promise us Jinfan to be stationed at the mouth of the water." Wang Chong said and took out a letter from his arms, "Liu Xun loves vanity and greed, you take my letter with you when you go and prepare more gold and silver, as long as we lower our posture as much as possible, I believe it should not be difficult to convince Liu Xun." ”

"No." Zhuge Jin solemnly accepted the letter, he knew that the success of this mission almost determined whether Jinfan's follow-up plan could be implemented smoothly, "Rest assured, Jin will live up to the leader's trust." ”

Wang Chong nodded, obviously satisfied with Zhuge Jin's answer.

In fact, no one knows better than Wang Chong how high Zhuge Jin's success rate is in going to Anhui City, because after using the skill of 'Hiding a Knife in a Smile', the probability of being able to convince Liu Xun on this trip has been as high as 90%.

Completely different from the skills that Wang Chong used in the battle before, the skill of 'Hiding a Knife in a Smile' is very complicated, although the proportion of the additional layer is fixed, but its basic success rate, up and down, fluctuates greatly.

First of all, you have to do what they like, grasp the weaknesses of the other party, if the other party loves money, you have to send more money, if the other party loves the name, you have to make a hard slap, so that the basic success rate will become higher.

Secondly, it is also very important who you send to say something, if you send someone who is not eloquent, has a tough attitude, and does not know how to judge the situation, then the probability of you wanting to achieve your goal is naturally not high.

When it comes to skill matching, Wang Chong has repeatedly conducted many trials.

At the beginning, Wang Chong experimented with sending objects, and the result was that after he finished writing the letter and attaching some gold and silver, the basic success rate of sending Zhuge Jin was 70%, Li Tao had 50%, and Gan Ning had 30%, and finally, Wang Chong also tried Zhou Hu on a whim...... Zero percent.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Chong removed the letter when the target of the dispatch was fixed as Zhuge Jin, and the success rate was only reduced by 10 percent.

However, when Wang Chong removed the gold and silver, he found that the success rate plummeted by 20 percent, and it can be seen from this point that Liu Xun simply regarded wealth as his life.

In the letter, Wang Chong wrote almost all the praise words that he could think of in his mind, what admiration for Liu Xun is like a surging river, hoping that he can dominate the rivers and lakes for thousands of generations, etc., in short, he wrote hundreds of words densely, and finally wrote, even Wang Chong himself felt embarrassed.

But none of this matters, in Wang Chong's opinion, as long as Liu Xun can be fooled, even if he is disgusted by what he wrote, everything is worth it.

At the end of the letter, Wang Chong put forward the hope that he could attach himself to Liu Xun and garrison the mouth of the river, but he also did not forget to hack Sun Ce, saying that the Jiangdong army was ambitious and coveted the Lujiang River for a long time, and asked Liu Xun to pay more attention to their movements and not be deceived by them.

―――――――――――

On the day he got the task, Zhuge Jin took a few guards and quietly left the mouth of the water and went in the direction of Anhui City.

And in the next few days, after Jinfan incorporated the two thousand soldiers, he has been constantly consolidating the defense of the mouth of the water.

The Lujiang region is powerful and cunning, and supports the troops with self-respect, among which Zheng Bao is the most brave and resolute, and the soldiers and horses under his command alone have exceeded 10,000, and the rest of Zhang Duo and Xu Gan's generation also have thousands of troops, and their momentum cannot be underestimated.

Although Wang Chong is not afraid of these stragglers, it is not wrong to make more preparations.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Wang Chong did not wait for the system prompt of the successful performance of the 'Hidden Knife in the Smile', nor did he wait for the powerful army of Lujiang to press the border, but ushered in an unexpected uninvited guest.
