The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Hebin Village was victorious, but the Sanjiangkou Barracks did not rejoice.Three thousand soldiers and horses died on Long Fei's side, and everyone felt uncomfortable.But Jiangdong Army saw how powerful Ling Tong was, and felt a trace of fear inexplicably in his heart.Such a powerful opponent will soon be his enemy in the future, and I always feel a little worried about fighting against such a person.

Ling Tong bound himself to the big tent.Long Fei sat high in the handsome chair, his face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.Xu Shu tugged at the corner of Longfei's clothes: "My lord? My lord?"

Long Fei closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly shouted: "Ling Tong, are you guilty?"

Ling Tong lowered his head: "The last general is convicted, please deal with it, the lord, kill the last general to comfort those dead brothers!"

"Okay!" Long Fei nodded: "It's a man! Come on! Push Ling Tong out of the tent and behead him!" He grabbed a command arrow and dropped the handsome case.

"My lord! Be merciful!" Someone outside the tent suddenly shouted loudly, even crying: "My lord! Master Ling is our lord, please show your face and let Master Ling take his crimes and make meritorious deeds!"

Pick up the curtain.Many of the hundreds of wounded soldiers who came back with Ling Tong knelt outside.The surrounding soldiers of the Dragon Army looked at them sadly.The leading lieutenant kneeled down for two steps, the wound on his shoulder had already cracked, and blood seeped into the bandage: "My lord! Master Ling has always been very kind to us. Those soldiers who died in this battle were all for us in Jingzhou. Since the day we became soldiers, we With the determination to die for Jingzhou, Lord Ling has made great contributions in this battle, if not for Lord Ling, none of us would be able to come back! Please be merciful, Lord!"

"May the Lord be merciful!" The other hundreds of soldiers followed suit and shouted loudly.

Long Fei hurriedly stepped forward to help the lieutenant up: "Brothers, you are all good! I also know that there must be casualties in wars, and many brothers who followed me also died. There was a promise that the casualties should not exceed a thousand. Although Ling Tong won the battle, he lost three thousand brothers. They all have parents, wives and children. What about those who are looking forward to the return of their sons, husbands, and fathers?"

"My lord!" The deputy general hurriedly said, "It's true that we have this rule in Jingzhou, but the lord loves us very much. Even if we die in battle, our parents, wives and children will have no worries about food and clothing. That's why we follow the lord, because the brothers all know that even if we die It's nothing! Although there were more casualties in this battle, it was also for our Jingzhou. If Cao Cao's army came, who would protect the old and weak, women and children, and a general like Lord Ling would be needed."

The lieutenant turned around and shouted to the soldiers of the Dragon Army standing behind: "Brothers! We are all from Jingzhou, without a lord, and without a general like Master Ling, how could we be in a good life today! I beg my brother to speak for Master Ling. Love, I am here to thank you!"

The soldiers around knelt down one after another, shouting loudly for Long Fei to forgive him.Ling Tong hastily stepped forward and knelt down towards the soldiers: "I appreciate the kindness of the brothers! Ling Tong is incompetent and let three thousand good brothers die in battle. Say goodbye to you brothers!"

Dian Wei was already tearing up, and knelt down at Long Fei's feet with a thud: "Boss, this kid is a material. If he has more experience, he must be a general material. It's a pity to kill him now, but let him do his crimes and meritorious deeds!"

Dian Wei was Long Fei's close minister, he knelt down, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and others knelt down to intercede for Ling Tong.Guo Jia took a look, walked to Long Fei's side, and lowered his voice: "Okay, it's almost done! If you keep going harder, it won't end well!"

Long Fei let out a long sigh: "Okay! Ling Tong, looking at the faces of so many brothers, I will forgive you! Next time if you commit another crime, you will definitely be punished!"

Actually, Long Fei didn't really intend to kill Ling Tong.Smart people can see clearly that Long Fei is giving Ling Tong a prestige, if a general cannot get everyone's approval, no one will follow him desperately.Ling Tong's victory this time, although he played well, almost wiped out his entire army.Even if Ling Tong is made a general, the soldiers will not be killed!Because in everyone's mind, Ling Tong is a brave man without strategy.A tiger is not scary, but a pack of wolves is the scariest.Only when the whole army is united in one mind can it become a wolf.

Ling Tong was beaten with thirty army sticks, and was carried down with his flesh and blood battered.Long Fei comforted the injured soldiers again, and then returned to the tent again.Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "Congratulations to another general of General Long!"

When Cao Cao received the battle report from Cao Ren and Yu Jin, his hands were shaking.There seemed to be a needle stabbing hard in his head, and he kept beating his head with his fists in pain because of the pain.When Cao Pi saw it, he hurried forward. While ordering his servants to take medicine for Cao Cao, he knelt beside Cao Cao with tears in his eyes: "Father! Father! Are you alright?"

Everyone in the hall was terrified.Everyone is in a hurry, now is a critical moment, if Cao Cao makes any mistakes, the consequences will be self-evident.Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi and widened his eyes: "Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!"

The servant hurriedly handed the boiled soup to Cao Cao. With the help of everyone, Cao Cao drank the soup.After a long time, Cao Cao got better.He specially hired two servants to help him massage his head, suppressing the anger in his chest.With a light cough, everyone hurried back to their positions.Cheng Yu held the battle report he had just picked up from the ground in his hand, and put it back on Cao Cao's case.

Cao Cao waved his hand: "You guys circulate it and see if there is any good way!"

After reading the battle report, everyone was shocked.Cheng Yu said: "The only plan for now is to transport grain to Pingchun, so that hundreds of thousands of soldiers will not be unstable!"

Cao Cao nodded: "Immediately send people to transport food and grass from Runan, and must be escorted by a large army! No more mistakes can be made, let Yu Jin Mao Jie choose another place, and then train the navy, as for Cao Ren..."

Cao Cao didn't continue to talk, and everyone didn't ask any more questions.Cheng Yu agreed and went to do it immediately.Dong Zhaodao: "My lord, General Li Dian is stranded alone in Pingchun Dinosaur Fei, Zhou Yu will not let it go, it is better to withdraw them back to Runan first!"

"Humph! How can such a huge loss be withdrawn immediately? I must avenge this revenge!" Cao Cao's head began to hurt again, and he punched several cases: "Tiao Lejin led his troops back from Hefei immediately. Make Long Fei pay the price!" When Cao Cao said this, his eyes burst into flames, he felt his head was going to explode, and he squeezed his sides tightly with both hands, exerting force continuously.

Everyone's heart was raised.Cao Pi hurriedly winked and asked the servants to get the medicine again, and he himself stepped forward to massage his father.Dong Zhao didn't seem to notice the look in everyone's eyes at all, and shook his head again and again: "You mustn't, if my lord does this, it's just a trick of Long Fei, and Long Fei just wants to provoke the lord to fight with him, so don't act on your will!"

Cao Cao endured his headache and looked at Dong Zhao's terrifying look: "What about the decisive battle? Is it possible that I am still afraid of him? When the second general Xiahou defeats Ma Teng and returns from Chang'an, he will attack by water and see how long Long Fei can last." !"

Just as Dong Zhao was about to speak, Jiang Ji hurriedly pulled Dong Zhao's clothes and walked around Dong Zhao: "My lord is far-sighted, and we must first think of a countermeasure for the current plan. Long Fei and Zhou Yu rely on the Yangtze River to block our army. The warship can't fight Long Fei decisively, let's wait for Brother Xiahou to come back, it's more appropriate to start from Wancheng."

"Although the Yangtze River is wide, it is not insurmountable. The so-called natural dangers of the Yangtze River are just talking. As long as we build new warships, we can cross the river!" Cao Cao seemed to be crazy, completely disregarding success or failure, and only wanted revenge : "Immediately dispatch craftsmen to the Huaihe River to oversee the construction of warships. We will build another [-] ships within a month!"

Everyone hastily agreed.Jiang Ji gave Dong Zhao a hand.Seeing Cao Cao go back to the back hall supported by everyone, Dong Zhao flicked his sleeves: "Why are you dragging me?"

Jiang Ji shook his head: "My lord Dong! The lord has made up his mind, how can you explain it in one or two sentences? You should know the lord's temper. He knows how to fight a war better than you and me!"

As soon as Cao Pi turned around, he saw Jiang Ji and Dong Zhao, and hurriedly said, "My lords, please stay!"

Dong Zhao and Jiang Ji hurriedly turned around.Cao Pi bowed deeply to the two: "What the two adults said just now, it seems that they do not agree to send troops to Pingchun?"

Dong Zhao sighed: "Although our army has a large number of people, it is not enough elite. What's more, we don't have a navy yet. The Jingzhou navy is the best in the world, and there is a natural moat in the Yangtze River. If we face each other across the river, we will definitely suffer!"

Cao Pi nodded: "I think so too, but my father has already made up his mind and it is difficult to change. The two gentlemen should find a way to avoid damage to our army!"

Jiang Ji hurriedly said: "The two of us have written down the words of the son, and we must give the master a lot of advice. Please rest assured, the son."

Long Fei looked at the spies' report, and the joy on his face was beyond words.If Cao Jun retreats, it means that his strategy has failed. Now Cao Jun not only did not retreat, but also sent people to deliver food, sent more civilians, and even mobilized Le Jin from Hefei to lead his troops for reinforcements.Long Fei knew that Cao Cao had been angered by him, and he might come here in person.Everyone in Jiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as the Hefei soldiers retreated, their lord was safe, and Moling could give it a go without any trouble.

Zhou Yu said: "Cao Cao seems to have made a lot of determination this time. The soldiers and horses on both sides add up to no less than 50, as well as the navy and all kinds of civilian craftsmen. It's hard to deal with going down the river."

Gan Ning said: "What are you afraid of? My Jingzhou navy is not easy to provoke! If Cao Cao dares to come, let him know how powerful he is!"

Zhou Yu nodded: "Jiangdong navy is invincible, this is something everyone knows, but your giant ship is not in Xiakou, Cao Cao's huge navy is still difficult to deal with!"

Gan Ning was about to speak.Long Fei stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Dudu Zhou is right, then this water battle will depend on the strength of your Jiangdong Army!"
