March 17th.
The stars and moon were like fire, illuminating the river.
Wang Xiong returned to the Red Cliff camp. This place was already somewhat desolate.
The wooden stockade had fallen, the wooden shed that had been used to confine livestock had collapsed, and the workshop that forged armor and armaments was even more dilapidated.
"My lord."
Taishi Ci handed over the incense and candles.
"Yes."
Wang Xiong nodded and took it.
He bowed in front of Wang Meng's grave.
A year ago.
He first came to the end of the Han Dynasty.
He wanted to go north and live in Cao Wei.
After taking over the camp, he had his sights set on the world.
I always thought that I could pacify Jiangdong in one year, guard the south in three years, and rule the world in five years.
However, after taking control of Yuzhang, he realized that war was never a child's play. Armaments, provisions, soldiers, and civilians were all prerequisites to control the development of the Red Cliff Army.
Strong enemies surrounded Jiangdong, and the slightest carelessness would lead to the end of being buried in the mountains.
If this was the case in a small corner of the world, then how magnificent would the north, which was constantly at war every year, be?
"Swoosh."
Taishi Ci also bowed.
"Ziyi."
" I heard that you fought with the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and went to the plains to ask for help," Wang Xiong said calmly." Only then did you resolve the siege of the North Sea!"”
"Yes."
Taishi Ci said respectfully.
Wang Xiong pointed at Wang Meng's tomb and said in a deep voice,"In my father's grave, there is a Yellow Turban flag.”
"I know."
Taishi Ci's expression remained unchanged.
"Oh?"
Wang Xiong was slightly stunned.
"My lord."
Taishi Ci said respectfully," I know that the Red Cliff Army used to be the remnants of Yangzhou's Yellow Turbans. However, the Yellow Turbans are Yellow Turbans, and the Red Cliff Army is the Red Cliff Army. The two cannot be mentioned in the same breath!"”
"That's good."
Wang Xiong turned around and walked towards the meeting hall.
Not too long later.
Zhao Yi, Wang Hu, and Taishi Ci gathered.
Wang Xiong twirled his fingers and said in a deep voice,"No one is more familiar with the Tianyue Mountain than us, and no one knows the surrounding counties better than us, right?"”
"Yes."
Zhao Yi and Wang Hu grinned.
"Haha."
Wang Xiong smiled lightly," The Red Cliff Camp is 20 miles away from Red Cliff Crossing, and Red Cliff Crossing is 30 miles away from You County Camp. Immediately send scouts along the river to check. Once we find the enemy ships like water, we will set off for the Jing State Camp!"”
"Here."
The three of them shouted.
Wang Xiong continued," The Jing State Navy is moving along the river, so their speed will definitely be faster than us walking. Therefore, we have to use the fastest speed to finish off Liu Pan and bring him back to Yuzhang. Tell the soldiers to rest well!"”
"Here."
The three of them bowed and retreated.
The next day.
The sky brightened.
The blazing sun hung in the sky, and the river wind was raging.
Jingzhou navy in You County camp landing ships, want to send troops to Yuzhang.
At the ferry.
Liu Pan led people to see him off.
Huang Zhong put on his armor and held his sword. He looked at Huang Wudie and warned,""Die 'er, there's a plague every year. Your mother and brother died early, and I only have you left. I don't know if I can return from this battle in Yuzhang.”
"Father."
"We will definitely win!"
Huang Wudie was wearing armor, and a long sword hung at her waist.
The tiger daughter of the Generals was also confident that she would win this battle.
"Alright."
Huang Zhong laughed and stepped onto the ship.
You County was 500 miles away from Chaisang. It would take at least a day and a night to travel along the river. He could not delay here.
"I wish you a great victory."
Liu Pan's gaze was sharp as he cupped his hands and gave a long shout.
He was brave and had a fiery temper, and he had a tactical disagreement with Huang Zhong.
However, they were both Jing State generals and had the ambition to win, so they naturally wouldn't harbor any ill intentions.
"I wish you a great victory."
Along the shore of the ferry, three thousand soldiers shouted in unison.
"Set sail."
"Move out."
Huang Zhong stood on the ship and ordered.
Hundreds of ships set sail, spears lined up, waving killing intent as they sailed along the river.
At the same time.
The spies of the Directorate of Celestials had already headed to Mount Tianyue with the secret report.
War was not just about weapons. These dukes had not paid attention to the development of their intelligence network, so they naturally fell behind the Red Cliff Army.
Once the year of Jian An arrived, the various states and dukes would also develop an intelligence system.
At that time, it would depend on whose intelligence system was good enough and whose infiltration was deep enough.
"Father."
"You must win."
Huang Wudie gripped the hilt of her sword, her eyes filled with worry.
The Red Cliff Army had been too famous these past two years. Even a feudal lord of a prefecture had to treat them with caution, so she could not help but feel a layer of dark clouds in her heart.
It was night.
The scouts returned to camp.
Killing intent rose in the Sky Peak Mountain.
In the meeting hall, Wang Xiong had already donned his armor.
"My lord."
Zhao Yi bowed and said," Huang Zhong entered the river at noon. He's expected to reach Chaisangdu tomorrow evening. If we set off now, we'll be able to reach You County by tomorrow morning!"”
"Ziyi."
"How are the soldiers?"
Wang Xiong's heart was calm as he raised his head and asked.
"Prepare for battle."
Taishi Ci spoke in a sonorous and forceful manner.
"Clang."
Wang Xiong took the halberd from the wooden shelf and said in a deep voice,"Zhao Yi, you and Wang Hu return to the Second Legion to supervise the battle. You must protect Zhuge Jin!”
"Here."
The two of them said respectfully.
"Move out."
Wang Xiong's expression was solemn, his back view incomparably imposing.
At this moment, it seemed as if boundless killing intent was surging out and sweeping towards the Jing State.
