Chapter 13: Prisoner Exchange

At this time, Hawking, who came over, also asked suspiciously, he couldn't understand why the people who could completely annihilate Wu Bing should persuade the net to open up?

As soon as the words fell, Huo Yi had to move his gaze over and patiently explained, "We don't just sit back and relax after we completely annihilate Lu Meng's subordinates. ”

"Our army still has to make full preparations for the next fierce battle and preserve its strength."

"If we don't give Wu Bing a way out, our casualties will be quite small under the fighting of the trapped beasts."

After that, he paused between his words, and smiled on his face: "And naturally it's a prisoner exchange~"

"Prisoner exchange?"

Hawking, Liao Hua was a little puzzled when he heard this.

Seeing this, Huo Yi unconsciously showed a little regret and said: "The Wu soldiers who stayed behind this time came to meet Lu Meng's retreat, and the garrison of the public security must be very weak. ”

"Actually, my brother shouldn't have come to my aid, if I lead my troops across the river to take advantage of the situation to capture Gong'an City, then the bureau will be very beneficial to our army."

"We don't need to exchange Wu Bing's prisoners of war for the previous public security defenders."

Hearing the analysis of the clan brother, Hawking thought for a while and suddenly slapped his head, and said regretfully: "My ...... At that time, I was worried about the reinforcements of the Wu army coming downstream, but I ignored the emptiness of the public security. ”

When the words fell, he was reminded that he was indeed quite remorseful.

Seeing this, Huo Yi reassured: "Brother doesn't have to be like this~"

"It's also to blame that I didn't explain it to you in advance~"

"However, although the public security did not take advantage of the situation, it didn't hurt, first use Wu soldiers in exchange for our prisoners of war who garrisoned Fengsui and the public security garrison along the river to hold Jiangling City."

"When General Guan returns with most of his troops, there will naturally be a counterattack."

As soon as the words fell, Hawking gradually relieved.

"The combined strength of our public security defenders and beacon towers is far more than the Wu prisoners of war, so is Lu Meng really willing to change?"

Liao Hua on the side pondered for a moment, and said with a worried look on his face.

"It will definitely be changed~" As soon as the words fell, Huo Yi responded very affirmatively, "Maybe General Wu wants to exchange prisoners more than us." ”

"Why is that?"

"Since the death of Sun Ce, Sun Quan's successor deliberately compromised his interests and the generals of the army for the position of the lord of Jiangdong, so that the generals could enjoy the rights of private soldiers."

"If the one we captured is as expected, it is the division of Lu Meng or the generals under his command, if Lu Meng does not change the decision, it will inevitably affect the military prestige."

"I see~ It's still Shaoxian's far-reaching thoughts, but he has already thought of the post-war treatment on the battlefield, so it's better to do it!"

When these words fell, Liao Hua responded with a look of deep understanding.

Hawking, who was on the side, heard the debate between his brother and his brother, and he unconsciously felt admiration in his heart for a while.

"Ah Yi has this foresight, and he will definitely be able to make my Huo family develop and grow in the future!"

Hawking thought to himself, and remembered that Huo Jun's last words asked him to take care of Huo Yi a little more, and a little shame appeared on his face:

"Uncle, I'm afraid that my nephew is going to disappoint you, and only he can afford to revitalize the Huo clan with the talent that Ah Yi has shown so far."

Huo Yi naturally didn't know that he already had so much weight in the hearts of his clan brothers now, and as soon as he finished analyzing the situation of the prisoner exchange, he swept his gaze to Mi Fang's side on the side, and said with a smile:

"Mi Taishou, you can thwart Lu Meng's offensive this time, you have made a great contribution!"

"Next, Yi and Liao Zhubo will lead the army to deploy the defense of the old city, and you will go back to the new city to assist General An Han to stabilize the officials in Jingzhou, so as to avoid someone secretly stumbling when the main force of Jiangdong attacks."

"I believe that as long as you make meritorious contributions in this battle, the king will not pursue the past mistakes when he thinks of the old feelings after the war."

When the words fell, Huo Yi was relieved, and dispelled Mi Fang's deep anxiety even more.

"Okay~ Then the defense of the old city will be fully entrusted to you."

After listening to this, Mi Fang also knew that her task was completed, and it was not appropriate to continue to stay on the front line now.

But letting him stay with his brother Mi Zhu also makes him more happy, at least full of security!

After cleaning the battlefield and handling post-war affairs such as the detention of prisoners of war, Huo Yi changed into a brocade robe and freshened up and stood on the city wall again, his eyes looking closely at the west, as if thoughtful.

"Ah Yi, do you still have something on your mind?"

Hawking came over and asked, he also understood his brother's temperament, and every time he had the heart to hide something, he would have a sad face.

"There is a little concern~"

Huo Yi turned his head sideways, said bluntly with a calm face, and then said, "Since my brother is here, how about my brother handle the matter with you?" ”

"Oh? What's the matter, Ah Yi is coming~"

After that, Huo Yi leaned closer to his ear and whispered, who expected that Hawking's face suddenly changed greatly after hearing this, his expression became solemn, he muttered for a moment, and responded quickly:

"Ah Yi rest assured, I'll do it for my brother~"

As soon as the words fell, Hawking left in a hurry without the slightest delay.

After giving this order, Huo Yi's gaze swept into the distance again, and there was a little less worry in his eyes, and he regained the light of his former wisdom.

……

In the lower reaches of the river, the remnants of the defeated Jiangdong Army crossed the river by boat all the way to the land on the south bank, looking at the silhouette of the tall public security city in front of them, and only then did they calm down from their panic.

Rao is main general, Lu Meng, was also full of sadness at this time, and he did not have the confidence to win as before.

When he returned to the public security, he saw that there were only hundreds of remnants of the soldiers under his command, and the soldiers of all departments were discouraged at this time, and their fighting spirit was low, Lu Meng couldn't help but sigh deeply and muttered:

"This time it's still too eager for quick success~"

He was depressed at this time, but he also realized for the first time that the main factor in this defeat was himself.

If he hadn't been in a hurry to take Jiangling without blood, how could he have fallen for Mi Fang's plan?

If the public security can be stationed and wait for the assembly of the main forces of the follow-up departments, why will the troops be lost?

Nearly 2,000 elites were lost.

Lu Meng had a bitter face on his face, his face was full of sadness, and he was a little relieved when he saw that the public security was still under his control, and said secretly:

"The public security is still there, if the Jingzhou army that is ambushing outside the city comes to attack when Sun Jiao is reinforced, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Thinking of this, Lu Meng was also faintly afraid in his heart.

When he returned to the city, he first visited the battalions, encouraged the soldiers, and encouraged the morale of the army, so as not to collapse the morale of the army under his command.

However, the general Pan Zhang has been sullen since he returned, and his face is sad.

Lu Meng couldn't notice it, and hurriedly walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder and relieved, "Wen Jue is worried about not capturing Jiangling this time?" ”

As soon as these words fell, he couldn't hold back anymore when he saw Pan Zhang, a rough man, tears came out of his eyes, and he said loudly:

"General Lu, this time the soldiers and horses under Zhang's command are almost all wiped out, and there is not much left, I am heartache soldiers!"
