"If Miss Wen Yuan is interested in internal affairs, you can give it a try!" Zhang Liao said with a smile.

Wen Yuan shook her head like a rattle, "I don't want it!" After a pause, she said to Zhang Liao with some slut, "But General Gao Shun has already taken me as a general, so you can't keep your word!"

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Shun. Gao Shun hurriedly reported: "General, please explain to General Mo!" Zhang Liao smiled and said, "No need!" He glanced at Wen Yuan, who was wide open on the side, and said half-jokingly: "I think you can't help it!" Turning his head to Wen Yuan and said, "Since that's the case, then Miss Wen Yuan will temporarily return to my command. But in the end, His Majesty will decide!" Wen Yuan smiled and happily clasped her fists at Zhang Liao and said, "General Mo has seen General!" Zhang Liao pretended to be majestic in his voice. Zhang Liao laughed and couldn't help feeling that Wen Yuan in front of him really looked like his precious sister.

A group of people came to the lobby of the governor's mansion and each sat down.

Gao Shun clasped his fists and asked, "General, what's going on in Chibi Water Village?"

Zhang Liao frowned and shook his head, "The entire water camp was destroyed, and the ships were almost completely lost! Nearly half of the Jingzhou naval army was killed and injured!"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. Wen Qin frowned and said, "In this way, Jiangdong has gained the absolute advantage of the navy!"

Zhang Liao nodded, "The Jingzhou naval army was severely damaged. At present, only the Chaohu navy can be involved in the water battle! It can be said that Sun Jian regained control of the Yangtze River!"

"General, how can the Jingzhou Water Village make the Jiangdong Navy succeed in the raid? Didn't the General ordered the Jingzhou Navy to be strictly guarded repeatedly?" Gao Shun frowned.

Wen Yuan, who was standing beside him, rushed to say, "Is this still necessary to ask? It must be that the general of the Jingzhou navy was disobedient and did not take General Zhang's words to heart!"

Zhang Liao thought, "Cai Mao is a man who is charming the superiors and bullying the subordinates, but he may do this!" He paused and said to everyone with a serious look on his face: "No matter what, the defeat in this battle has caused the military power to be defeated. My Lord will have to bear the responsibility of this person!" Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but get a little heavy.

"The failure of this battle is not General Zhang's fault. I don't think the emperor will be unreasonable!" Wen Yuan said.

Zhang Liao laughed, "Miss Wen, you are wrong! Military law is the biggest truth! Okay, let's not talk about this! Since Huang Gai retreated, Jingzhou City is safe, and I must return to Jingzhou Camp immediately. Gao Shun, the defense of Jingzhou City will be left to you. Be sure to prevent it and never be careless!" "General, don't worry!" Gao Shun clasped his fists and agreed. Zhang Liao nodded and said to Wen Qin, Wen Yuan: "Mr. Wen, Miss Wen, you two are natives from Jingzhou, so help Gao Shun from the side!" The two of them went out together to clasp their fists and agreed.

Then Zhang Liao left behind five thousand light cavalry, and he led 10,000 light cavalry straight towards the Jingzhou camp.

In the early morning of the next day, the Jiangdong Shui Army, which raided Jingzhou, returned to Jiangxia one after another. Sun Jian personally led a group of civil and military officials to greet the riverside port. There was a graceful figure in the crowd. She was no one else, but Sun Jian's daughter Sun Ren. At this moment, Sun Ren's face was covered with sorrow, and his beautiful eyes were filled with troubles.

Surrounded by many civil and military personnel, Sun Jian returned to the lobby of Jiangxia Capital and sat down in the main seat, with all civil and military personnel standing in the left and right.

Sun Jian glanced at Zhou Tai and asked impatiently: "General Zhou, I will ask you to raid the Jingzhou Water Village, what will happen?"

Zhou Tai replied with an excited look: "Lord, I am fortunate to be humiliated! Jingzhou Water Village was burned, and thousands of warships were buried in the sea of ​​fire, and nearly half of the Jingzhou Water Army was killed and injured!"

Sun Jian's eyes lit up and said happily: "Good job! The entire Jingzhou naval army is full of ink, and the Yangtze River is dominated by our army!" The civil and military officials in the hall also showed an excited look, but Sun Ren's mood was very complicated. He was happy for his father's army's victory, and sad for the setbacks of his army. Sun Ren only felt that his heart was divided into two halves. Sun Ren was originally staying in Changsha, but after learning that Sun Jian was about to launch a counterattack on Jingzhou, he hurried to Jiangxia. She wanted to eliminate the war. However, when she arrived in Jiangxia, she was depressed to find that she could not stop the war at all. She suddenly realized that the war between her father and "he" was completely a fateful arrangement and no one could stop it.

Zhou Tai continued with a dark expression: "However, when our army was about to wipe out the Jingzhou navy, reinforcements from the Third Corps of the Qin Army suddenly arrived. After a bloody battle, our army was unable to fight and finally had to withdraw to the ship!"

Sun Jian was not surprised at all, and smiled and comforted: "General Zhou does not have to blame himself! Impeaching the Jingzhou naval army is the greatest achievement!"

"Thank you lord!" Zhou Tai said with his fists and retreated into the line.

Sun Jian turned his gaze to Sun Ce and Huang Gai. Seeing the depressed expressions on both of them, he had already guessed the matter.

"Bo Fu, Gong's revenge." Sun Jian called out.

The two immediately left the line and knelt down together. "Father, I failed to successfully raid the Jingzhou camp! Instead, I caused the loss of soldiers and generals! I asked my father to punish me!" As soon as Sun Ce finished speaking, Huang Gai also said with shame: "The last general was unable to seize Jingzhou as planned. Please punish me!" The two knelt on the ground, lowered their heads. The civil and military officials looked at Sun Jian, wanting to see what he did.

Sun Jian walked to the hall and helped the two of them up, "Actually, these two sets of failures are not surprising! The Qin army's infantry and cavalry have never met the enemy in the world, and the Third Army is even more of its elite army!" Then he looked shaking, "However, if you two fail, you will have to punish according to military law! Come!"

Several personal soldiers immediately entered, clasped their fists and asked, "What are the lord's instructions?"

Sun Jian ordered with a majestic look on his face: "Take the Major General and the Old General Huang down, and take thirty slaughter each!"

The personal soldiers were stunned and looked at each other.

Sun Jian walked away with his eyebrows and said sternly: "Why are you still standing there and doing it immediately!"

Several personal soldiers couldn't help but feel a stern heart and quickly clasped their fists to agree. At this time, Cheng Pu stepped out and clasped his fists and said anxiously: "Lord, although the Major General and Old General Huang failed, this is not a crime of war. Please give me a public favor!" "Please give me a public favor!" The civil and military officials immediately went out together and begged.

Sun Jian frowned and said, "If the law is not strict, it will not be able to gather the hearts of the soldiers! I have decided, so you don't have to plead for mercy!"

Sun Ce and others clasped their fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but military law is ruthless. I, Sun Ce, are willing to accept military law!" After the words fell, he walked out of the hall with great strides. Huang Gai clasped his fists at everyone and followed them out.

A moment later, the sound of a wooden stick hitting the body came from outside the door.

The civil and military officials looked at each other and couldn't help but be more awe of Sun Jian.

Sun Jian said: "Although the best result of this assault was not achieved, the Jingzhou naval army had completed all its troops and we have achieved the expected goals! In a short period of time, the Qin army will not pose a threat to our Jiangdong! All counties and counties must seize this time to develop and hoard food and grass, and all army must speed up training and expand their troops!"

All the civil and military officials clasped their fists and agreed.

"Lord, at present, our Jiangdong Naval Army has more than 500,000, and the logistics burden is very heavy! If we expand the army, we are afraid~~~~~" Zhang Zhao said with concern.

Sun Jian nodded and said, "Zibu's concerns make sense! However, the Qin army was watching Dandan and we must expand our army as much as possible!" After a pause, he asked, "Zibu, what is the maximum number of troops we can afford now?"

Zhang Zhao thought for a while and replied: "Six hundred thousand. If this number exceeds this, we will collapse ourselves without the Qin army attacking!"

Sun Jian frowned and murmured: "Six hundred thousand! It seems to be a little less! Well, just limit it to 600 thousand!"

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Sun Jian would expand his army regardless of his actual situation.

Zhang Zhao clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the strength of our army and Cao Cao's remnants is also deficient compared to the Qin army. We must contact more allies!"

"Ally Liu Yan of Yizhou has already finished, what other allies can we have?"

Zhang Zhao said: "Western Regions, Goguryeo."
