When these words fell, Liao Hua's expression became more and more suspicious.

However, Huo Yi didn't explain too much when he saw this, to put it bluntly, the negotiation was to raise the price first, and then pull and lower it step by step, and finally reach a balance point that both parties can have.

This is known as the "broken window effect", the so-called compromise solution.

After the Jiangdong envoy was expelled, he also quickly returned to the public security and reported to Yu Xuan, who was in charge of the matter.

Hearing that Huo Yi's attitude was so resolute, he directly drove away the envoy he sent to negotiate.

Yu Fu was also unhappy for a while, but he was responsible for changing prisoners, so he could only suppress his anger and explain again before ordering someone to negotiate again.

After several repeated tugging, the prisoner exchange was finalized.

The two sides agreed to exchange prisoners of war on river vessels between the public security and Gangneung.

The Jingzhou army exchanged more than 800 elite Wu troops for nearly 3,000 public security defenders and beacon towers along the river.

As for Liu Zhang's father and son and the traitor Shiren mentioned by Huo Yishi's big mouth, it is naturally impossible for Jiangdong to agree.

The prisoner exchange went very smoothly.

As more than 3,000 people returned to Gangneung City safely, they sighed heavily as if they were relieved.

When they heard that Huo Yi, the new general who came to support from Zhijiang, was the master of exchanging Wu army prisoners of war for them, all the soldiers were undoubtedly grateful.

"General Xie Huo is kind, and this time I will fight bravely to kill the enemy and expel Wu Dog to repay the general's kindness."

"That's right~ I am willing to die for General Huo!"

A group of soldiers knelt on the ground and begged to bow, with respectful faces.

They didn't want to defect to Jiangdong, but they succumbed to the benevolence of the guards and became prisoners of war of the Wu army when they were caught off guard.

Now that he can pick up the sharp blade again to atone for his sins, how can he refuse the opportunity to make meritorious contributions?

Seeing this, Huo Yi's face showed a serious expression, "What you say is wrong! ”

"It's not for the sake of the general, but to thank the king for his grace and contribute to the revival of the Han Dynasty."

"Yes~ assist the king Zhongxing Dahan, and follow General Huo to make meritorious contributions."

"The big man will win, and the Wu dog will lose."

Looking at the soldiers in the city chanting in unison, and the roar resounded inside and outside the city, Liao Hua, who was watching quietly, admired Huo Yi more and more.

In just a few words, he successfully inspired the fighting spirit of the captured soldiers.

"Shao Xian will be the pillar of the country in time~"

Liao Hua whispered secretly in the depths of his heart.

With the exchange of prisoners of war, the number of prisoners of war in Gangneung Fortress was expanded from more than 2,000 to more than 5,000, and the garrison was greatly expanded.

And during the time of the prisoner exchange, the Jiangdong side was not idle.

The troops led by Zhu Ran and Han Dang also quickly converged with the public security along the downstream.

When Lu Meng heard the news, he personally led the generals to greet him by the river.

When the two sides met, Han Dang, an eight-foot-long veteran with gray sideburns, as a senior general in the army, first informed Lu Meng:

"General Lu, after Marquis Wu received the battle report that you crossed the river with the elite white clothes and successfully broke through the Fengsui and Gong'an City along the river, he immediately sent the Danghe Yifeng Dispatch Department to reinforce it."

In a word, the arrival of reinforcements was undoubtedly something he was quite interested in, so he hurriedly responded: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the old general has led to arrive?" ”

"There are more than 20,000 people in each department."

Han Dang pointed to the troops under his command, paused between his words, and said: "There are still more than 10,000 troops still gathering from the Jiangdong counties. ”

"After the assembly is completed, Marquis Wu will personally lead the army to the Lukou camp to sit in the town."

"That's good, that's good~"

Hearing that the lord was very supportive of his attack on Jingzhou, and that almost all the elites of the entire army were assembled to the west, Lu Meng was quite touched in his heart.

This made his heart more and more determined,

This time, we must capture Jiangling in order to live up to Wu Hou.

With the main force uniting with the public security, Lü Meng simply entertained and issued a military order.

"Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang listened to the order, and the two of you were ordered to raise the troops and horses of the headquarters to cross the river to the north bank and set up camp to challenge Jiangling City."

"喏~"

The order was handed down, and the second general looked serious and gave the order.

Then Lu Meng's eyes swept over the generals again, and finally stopped at Sun Jiao's body, and ordered:

"General Sun, order your consulate to stay in the town public security to be responsible for the guarantee of downstream logistics and military supplies, there must be no mistake!"

"Kyauk's Command~"

When the order was passed, Lu Meng's eyes when he looked at the veteran Han Dang were a little softer, and he said in a tone of advice, not in a commanding tone, but in a deliberate manner:

"Old general, you and most of the Mengqinti are sitting in the Chinese army and going to Jiangling City to besiege."

"Good~"

Lu Meng's military strategy had already convinced the Jiangdong generals, and this time, even the veteran Han Dang, who was very senior, was willingly dispatched and deployed.

"All the generals are in place, and the army will leave on the same day~"

"Yes,"

In the shouting of Lu Meng, the military discussion came to an end, and the officers and men under his command were also assembled and on standby.

The military information that the public security Wu army wanted to attack also quickly spread to Jiangling City.

On the old city.

Huo Yi heard the military report sent by his eyeliner, and his face became solemn unconsciously.

"Shaoxian, there are about tens of thousands of elite Wu troops this time, I think it's not good to come~"

After groaning for a while, Liao Hua couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes~ Sun Quan and Lu Meng, the two monarchs and ministers, have long coveted the counties of Jingzhou, and in the past, Lu Su, who still took the overall situation into account, reconciled the contradictions between the two families."

"Now that Lü Meng is in control of the soldiers and horses on the Western Front, it is not surprising that he took the opportunity of General Guan's Northern Expedition to attack Jingzhou."

Hearing this, Huo Yi's expression remained unchanged and responded softly.

"Shao Xian, do you think our army can hold until General Guan comes back for help?"

It seems that because the disparity between the forces of the two sides is too great, Liao Hua was at a loss for a while, and asked.

"Yes!" Huo Yi looked relieved, and teased with a smile: "Hehe~ Why is Brother Yuan Jian shaken?" ”

"Aren't I a little worried, after all, we have 5,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to the defense of the old city, we also have to divide troops to garrison the new city to deter the small people in the city, and even have to allocate troops to take care of the more than 30,000 Cao army prisoners of war escorted back by General Guan."

"I'm afraid that the troops will be overstretched~"

Liao Hua smiled wryly and said the reason in his heart.

"Huh? Cao Jun prisoners of war? ”

As he mentioned this, Huo Yi seemed to suddenly think of something, and his face was full of thought.

Seeing this, Huo Yi was a little puzzled and asked, "Shaoxian, is there any problem?" ”

"It's okay~ It's just that Yi suddenly thought of a clever plan that could make the defense of Jiangling City impregnable."

After thinking about it for a while, Huo Yi felt more and more feasible, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and responded with a smile.

"Huh? What is Shaoxian's good plan? ”

Liao Hua listened, and blurted out a question.

"The clever plan is that the Cao army is a prisoner of war, if the Cao army can be recruited to help in the battle, it will be almost easy to hold Jiangling with the strong infantry combat ability of the Cao army."

Huo Yi spit out a word, almost startling Liao Hua next to him.

It seemed to slow down for a while, and Liao Huacai said with a look of consternation:

"I'm afraid it's not feasible to recruit Cao Bing, right? It is said that Cao Cao implemented the method of joint sitting in Cao's camp, and I am afraid that the prisoners of war will not be recruited by our army to help defend the city. ”
