The night breeze is gentle.

The waves on the Han River are gentle. Zhao Mancheng led the victorious naval warship and entered the water village. On the shore, General Chen Hong led the generals and looked forward to it.

In the camp, the firehead soldiers were busy cooking on the stoves, and the smoke was rising.

The moment Zhao Mancheng stepped off the warship.

"Mighty !!!!!!"

The Goguryeo warriors raised their arms and cheered loudly.

Zhao Mancheng's face couldn't help but show a little smile. What a victory in a long time.

Since Wu Nian crossed the river, they were defeated one after another and retreated to the Han River. This victory came at a very timely time, and it could greatly boost the morale of the army and strengthen the determination of the government and the opposition to resist.

The cheers of the soldiers were endless. Chen Hong led the generals up. Chen Hong hugged his fists with a red face and said: "It is worthy of [Snow Qilin], which is rare in the world for being brave and good at fighting. ”

"The banquet is ready. We're not going to get drunk tonight, so we're going to have a good drink. ”

The generals were also smiling.

Zhao Mancheng waved his hand and said, "This victory is very important. Of course, celebration is to celebrate, and meritorious soldiers should also be rewarded. ”

"But. As generals, we cannot be arrogant because of this. ”

"Actually. There were very few soldiers of Wu Nian's army who were killed or wounded by me. He lost only one large battalion. The next war is crucial. ”

"You drink wine and entertain the soldiers. I immediately led my own soldiers and marched to the capital day and night. Negotiate with the DPRK and China for the next battle. ”

"Farewell."

Let's talk about it. Zhao Mancheng really said goodbye and left. The soldiers beside him followed.

Chen Hong and the other generals all looked at each other, and then showed admiration.

"General Zhao is really dedicated to the public."

"General Zhao is really the pillar of our Goguryeo, with him. We'll be able to hold it. ”

"Nope. Not only can it be held. It can also recapture the mountains and rivers of the north. ”

Zhao Mancheng left, but the celebration banquet had to continue. The generals went to the big tent to eat and drink together, followed Zhao Mancheng to cross the river, and the returned elite soldiers also ate meat and drank a lot of wine.

Chen Hong also said that each person would be given money and food.

For a time, the morale in the Shuizhai camp was high.

Zhao Mancheng traveled day and night, and only rested for a few hours in the middle. Finally, on this morning, I rushed back to Seoul.

Li Jinzhu had already prepared and sent his father, Li Yongshan, the minister of parliament, to lead hundreds of civil and military officials to greet Zhao Mancheng amid the sound of ceremonial music.

"General Zhao, he is really a pillar of the country. The king decreed that the general should be the Marquis of Wu, and the Danshu iron coupon would be given to hereditary replacement. ”

"The main hall will hold a banquet to wash the dust for the general."

Li Yongshan looked close and said to Zhao Mancheng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Of course, Zhao Mancheng knew that this was the result of Li Jinzhu's manipulation, and he didn't care about the title of Marquis Wu.

"I'll talk about it after the banquet. We should first meet with the Queen Mother and discuss the next battle. ”

Zhao Mancheng said in a deep voice.

"Good. We entered the palace immediately. Li Yongshan nodded, and immediately took Zhao Mancheng and other important ministers into the palace, and then went to the main hall.

Originally, there were many greeting procedures, but now they are anticlimactic.

When everyone entered the main hall, Li Jinzhu was already seated. A peerless face, radiant and beautiful.

Without waiting for everyone to salute, Li Jinzhu praised: "General Zhao is worthy of being the pillar of the country." This time it was a big win. The mourning family is big publicity. said that the general killed 30,000 enemies and broke through Wu Nian's camp. And spread throughout the southern provinces and counties. Now the government and the opposition are uplifted. The general is really a great achievement. ”

Zhao Mancheng shook his head lightly, killed 30,000 enemies? I'm ashamed. And then he didn't care about it, the slogan.

"The Queen Mother is overrated." He bent down and saluted first, and then solemnly repeated what he had just said to Li Yongshan.

"Hmm. General Zhao was right. Although there was a victory, it should not be taken lightly. Li Jinzhu's heart was awe-inspiring, the joy dissipated, reason returned, and he bowed his head gently.

"So what should we do next?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Mancheng.

Zhao Mancheng had already taken a countermeasure, hugged his fists and said: "Since we have determined that this is Wu Nian's plan to attack the east and the west. ”

"And now the ferries that can cross the river on a large scale are only Cangyuan and Lanxi. Then we will secretly arrange heavy troops in Lanxi. Cangyuan's defenders can be fewer, but they also have to be defended. ”

"The Cangyuan army is 40,000, commanded by General Li."

"The Lanxi army is 70,000, and I am in command."

"But the size of the camp is the same, so Wu Nian can't tell it."

"The Queen Mother and the princes led the remaining soldiers and horses to defend Hancheng. Support us as appropriate. ”

"Also. We have to think about the protracted war in the future. Please ask the imperial court to order the people to be recruited in the prefecture and county, train into soldiers, and make up for the battle losses in the front. ”

"The manufacture of armor and weapons cannot be stopped."

Li Jinzhu did not hesitate, and immediately bowed his head and said, "Okay." Everything was done according to General Zhao's strategy. With that, her tender face showed majesty, and her eyebrows were full of murderous aura.

"Whoever dares to slack off will be killed."

"Yes."

The crowd shouted yes.

"Alright. The deployment of troops has been completed. The next step is to catch the wind and wash the dust. Li Jinzhu had a smile on his face, turned his head and said to the eunuch next to him, "Go to the banquet." ”

"Yes." The eunuch answered, and immediately turned and went down.

Zhao Mancheng was actually very tired, and he couldn't wait to fall asleep immediately. But this wine banquet is really unavoidable. He could only force himself to participate.

After the feast, he immediately went home to rest. Early the next morning. Then he sent his troops. Deployed in Lanxi and Cangyuan.

North Shore.

Wu Nian Cangyuan Ferry Water Village.

The river wind is swift, and the blowing flags are hunting. The soldiers wore armor and spears, patrolled and stood guard, and the air of slaughter overflowed the sky.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wu Nian sat on the main seat with a calm expression.

The lieutenants sat below, their heads bowed slightly. In the Enting battalion, there were not many casualties among the soldiers. However, countless military supplies such as tents and food were lost.

Wu Nian had this expression again, and they couldn't guess if Wu Nian was already angry, so they didn't dare to speak.

After a long time, Wu Nian laughed. said: "Before this, the small southern court was already frightened. The morale of the army is sluggish. ”

"I really didn't expect that. Zhao Mancheng dared to cross the river and attack my camp. ”

"The courage of the snow unicorn is really amazing. It's a pity for such a person to give Li Jinzhu his life. I will take him to the Huanglong Mansion and fight the Mengyuan people in a decisive battle. ”

The solemn atmosphere in the big tent suddenly dissipated.

"I can be favored by the general. It's a blessing to him. Zhao Yanting clenched his fists with both hands, and unabashedly patted his sycophants.

Everyone else looked at Zhao Yanting with contempt.

Li Tianbao clasped his fists and saluted: "General." What are we going to do next?"

The crowd pricked up their ears and waited for the rest.

The situation is really dizzying.

The Enting camp was breached, and of course the previous plan fell through.
